Outstanding red dessert apple; also great for drying. Fruit is school box sized, bright red with crisp juicy flesh and the sprightly flavor of Jonathan. Hangs well on the tree and is a better keeper than most early fall varieties. Winter hardy, precocious (early bearing) tree that should be thinned well to reach a good size. Needs thinning for good size. (Jonathan x Worcester Pearmain)
