Small, bright and salmon-colored with a light-golden russet. Fine-grained sweet flesh. Resembles the famous Pomme Grise. But unlike Pomme Grise, it will keep until late spring or even into July. Said to be a seedling of “Greening” most likely referring to Rhode Island Greening but possibly any number of other large green apples. Rediscovered in Mapleton with the help of Leslie Gardiner and Gary Kazsas. It would be highly unlikely to find trees outside of northwestern Maine, up near Ashland and Presque Isle. However, Aroostook Sunset is now growing strong at the Maine Heritage Orchard and a few other central Maine locations. Vigorous productive tree. Z3.
