Perhaps by design, the name of this apple evokes the iconic Golden Delicious , which matures much later. Earligold falls between medium and large, a very light spring green. As the photo shows, there is not so much a blush as a lightening of the green to yellow, but it includes some faint peach accents. Lenticels show as darker green dots. There is quite a bit of give in the squeeze.
