Ralls Janet apple

/rahlz JAH-nit/
[English]

A variety of eating apple raised in Amherst County in Virginia by Mr Caleb Ralls some time around 1800. It is thought it might have been a French apple called Genet brought to the United States for Thomas Jefferson, and the name be a corruption of Genet. This late-season variety is harvested from early October and is at its best from January to May.
