Appearance – 3”H, mostly dark pink with yellow splotches at the bottom.
Taste – Tangy and sweet, really juicy, and extremely crisp. It was a bit difficult to cut into, which makes it one of the hardest apples I’ve found. The sweetness isn’t overpowering at all, but that crunch! Wow. The crunchy-sweet combo is gaining quite the reputation, and it is well-deserved. Excellent apple if you like hard and lightly sweet.
When researching this apple I found it hails from New Zealand, and it was such a hit they’re trying to start up orchards over here. Also on the plus side: it does not brown quickly, and stores really well in the fridge.
