Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fruit color varies, but is usually greenish-yellow with red stripes. The Gravenstein is crisp, juicy, aromatic and has a disctinctive sweetly-tart flavor. A fantastic choice for sauces and pies, as well as being the standard for summer eating apples. Great pollinizer for most all other apple varieties.

Red striped apples late August, early Sept. Crisp, juicy good for sauce & pies-not a good pollinator
