A world renowned heirloom apple. Arriving in America in the 1700's, it's a terrific sauce and pie apple that ripens late August to early September. The color varies, but is usually greenish-yellow covered with broad red stripes. The creamy-white flesh is crisp, juicy, very aromatic and dense with old-fashioned tart-sweet flavor. The vigorous, highly productive trees usually need the fruit to be thinned for a good annual crop. Pollination partners (requires at least 2) Royal Court™, RubyMac®, or Buckeye® Gala.

Now they are planted, but we have one cold night ahead with temperatures getting close to the freezing mark. A bit of a shock for these Wisconsin trees, so I hope they do OK.
The directions said put them out, even in cold weather, so I will be keeping my fingers crossed!
