Zone 3 - Upper Woodstock, New Brunswick. late 19th century - Standard rootstock

Dessert, cooking
Early season

This apple is both historically important, and is a hardy, healthy and long-lived tree in New Brunswick. However, it is early to mid-season and does not keep long. It is naturally a rather small tree. New Brunswick apples are medium sized round fruit with a yellow background that becomes marked with red striping. The fruit is crisp but will break down if not refrigerated immediately. This apple is good for fresh eating during season, makes great sauces and pies, and also dries well.
