Today's variety is classically shaped, if on the squat side, with very little ribbing, medium-sized. One sample (photographed) grew wildly lopsided. The blush is a thin red, just a bit dull, over spring green. Lenticels show light in the blush, dark on the green. Note the mustard-colored strands of russet radiating from the stem well. This apple grew up on an organic farm and has the usual marks of character. It's nice and firm and has a complex grassy smell.
