Self-fruitful, but responds well to any diploid in the same season. Cold and hardy, but is a slower grower. Very similar in appearance to Golden Delicious, but picks 10-12 days before Golden. Yellow skin is russet-resistant. Smooth and good size.
Flesh is creamy white, firm, juicy, with good flavor.
Shelf life for such an early cultivar is limited. Tends to bruise easily. Flavor is sweet and tart with mild flavor. Flesh is white with texture that is fine-grained, firm and crisp. A good all purpose apple.
