Hermann Mac

The name "Hermann Mac" suggests the apple is is a sport of McIntosh . If so, it is one that ripens later than the original version. This sample, from a home orchard, has superficial defects including sooty blotch and flyspeck. These are two wonderfully descriptive names for different fungi that live on the peel and do not affect eating quality.
