« Ginger Gold »

The Ginger Gold was found as a seedling growing among uprooted trees in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia after Hurricane Camille in 1969. It is descended from Golden Delicious and Albemarle Pippin.

This is the best of the early golden apples. It is sweet, tangy and juicy; consistently scoring very high in taste tests. It doesn't discolor when cut, maintaining its crisp white flesh. The oval shaped fruits are a smooth greenish yellow ripening to an attractive golden yellow with some red blush. Ginger Gold is a perfect multi-purpose apple great for snacking, salads, and baking.
