I've got two Allington apples today: one large, the other slightly smaller. They are classically shaped, long stemmed and nearly unribbed. ¶ The apples wear a semigloss skin of yellow that is almost a spring green, with a partial red blush that comprises darker red steaks and specks in an orange wash. ¶ There is some russet in the mix around the stem well, but the kind of textured, subdued olive-toned red you can see in my photos is mostly just the thin blush, with its streaks and spots, spread over the underlying green-tinged yellow.
