Medium-small tasty yellow fruit has a beautiful golden apricot-orange blush. Firm somewhat dry yellowish flesh with a mild sweet distinctly interesting flavor, best for summertime fresh eating. We begin to pick them around August 10. Cooks up into a nice tropical-flavored sauce—with hints of banana and pineapple—in about ten minutes. One of several rare varieties that longtime collector and orchardist Earland Goodhue of Sidney introduced to me. The first apple the neighborhood kids coveted every summer when Earland was growing up in Sidney a century ago. Healthy vigorous upright compact productive tree. Pick them off the tree or off the ground for about two weeks. Blooms midseason. Z4.
