Golden Russet Apple

There were a few Golden Russet apples.  Probably originating in New York around 1800, Golden Russet is one of the great apples, excellent for cooking, dessert, apple juice and, due to its high acid and sugar content, cider.  It declined in popularity as consumers judged food visually instead of by taste.  Currently, along with other russets like Roxbury and Pomme Gris, enjoying a renaissance.



They are not very pretty.

In August, 2015, there are several trees with fruit.
This one needed to be propped up!
Here's one pendant.
