Kearsarge

This variety only grows at Gould Hill Farm in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, where it originates. The large and slightly blocky apple is ribbed, with a streaky red blush over perhaps a third of its otherwise spring-green surface. Green lenticels are not prominent but show as light against the blush and dark elsewhere. Its calyx is quite clenched, and it smells pleasantly sweet-tart.
