These are small apples, barely bigger than crabs, with a deep red blush (streaky in spots) that covers a dull yellow-green. ¶ They are mostly tapered and elongated, though there is variation, and are only slightly ribbed. Their shape is a little reminiscent of the larger Black Gilliflower's . ¶ Swaths of what I think is the thinnest russeting I have ever seen show on small regions of some of these small apples.
