Many of these large apples had the top-heavy, lopsided shape apparent in my photographed sample. They are conical and markedly ribbed, with distinct bumps at their tiny bases. The blush is twofold: a strawberry red and a deeper darker swath, prominent in the photo but comprising only about a fifth of the whole surface. The strawberry effect at bottom is amplified by many small distinct light lenticels; these grow bigger and sparser in the top half.
