A light-textured and juicy, waxy American dessert apple with crisp, green flesh and deep, almost solid red flushed blushed skin. It was raised by RD Way at New York State Agricultural Experimental Station in Geneva in 1945. It is a cross between McIntosh and Delicious which was introduced commercially in 1966. This late-season variety is picked in early- to mid-October in South-East England and has good storage properties being at its best from November to December, while in the United States it is harvested from mid-September to early October. Like a lot of juicy apples, it is good for cider-making.
