Holstein apple

/HOL-stighn/
[German]

An asymmetrical variety of medium to large eating apple raised in Eutin in Holstein in Germany by Vahldik some time around 1918, possibly from Cox's Orange Pippin. It looks rather like a Cox, being gold with red flush and stripes and has yellowish flesh. This late-season variety is harvested from late September to early October in South-East England and is at its best from late October to January. It is a triploid, which means that it needs a pollinator.
