Visitor reviews
- 02 Nov 2016 CA, United StatesYes, it is delicious. Not as good as the Mcintosh but passable. I love it's white flesh and how the deep red skin bleeds into the flesh when you cut into it or take a bite.
- 29 Aug 2016 SC, United StatesI like this apple between the green and ripe stage with its crispey tannery fast I also like it when it has mellowed and taken on the taste that gives its name
