About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find this small, red-yellow striped apple from New Zealand, a cross between ‚Cox Orange’ and ‚Golden Delicious’. It is mild and consistently sweet, so it also appeals to children who don't like strong acidity. It bears early and reliably, but is susceptible to scab and needs a bit of care in the home garden.
You will find it firm and crisp, very sweet with only a hint of acidity and a lightly perfumed aroma. An uncomplicated snack apple for everyday.
