A large, yellow, American eating apple, mottled with green and bright red, with crisp, juicy, creamy white flesh. It is also a good cooker and keeps well. Increasingly grown in the UK, it was raised in 1943 at New York State Agricultural Experimental Station in Geneva, New York and introduced commercially in 1968. It is a cross between Golden Delicious and Jonathan. It received the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Merit in 1987. This late-season variety is harvested from mid-October in South-East England, is stored and is at its best from November to January. It is now widely grown.
