O Prince of autumn! Finkenwerder has a striped red blush that reads as orange over the green-tinted yellow peel of this apple. ¶ It is lightly ribbed and tapered, though my sample is not as elongated as the one hanging from a branch in today's photo. ¶ Small lenticel dots match the peel, but many are filled in with grey. For some reason that is the most common on the unblushed side.
