Fiesta **

Click on any photo for a closer look. I've got two of these large apples, a little blocky with only slight ribbing, though from above the lopsided one has a square, lobed cross section. The blush is a striking orange-tinged red reminiscent of Fiesta's mother apple, Cox's Orange Pippin . The unblushed peel is a pale yellow green. There is a lot happening on that peel: streaks in the blush, a broad swath of russet, fine light lenticels too small to make much visual impact, flyspeck. The peel flora lends a yeasty, grassy aroma.
