Early Fall. Branch sport of St. Lawrence. Newburgh, ME(Penobscot County), 20th c Occasionally apple trees will have whole branch sports (mutations) such as this one. By grafting from that branch, a new 'variety' can be replicated indefinitely. One branch on Roger Luce's St. Lawrence tree in Newburgh bears apples with a distinctly redder ground color, unlike the typical light green. Like St. Lawrence however, the ground color is in turn overlaid with even darker red stripes. The result is a solid red apple overspread with deep dark red stripes. There is no apple that looks like it. Quite striking in appearance. High quality fresh eating, and especially valuable as a fall culinary apple. Tender sweet mildly sub-acid flesh, tinted with red. Moderately vigorous long-lived healthy medium-sized tree. Good to heavy crops, ripening unevenly over several weeks.
