These large, moderately ribbed apples have a satiny red blush over the usual green yellow, accented by tiny light dots. On closer inspection, the blush is a bit streaky and not everywhere saturated. ¶ There is a very light bloom on these, so faint I almost missed it. Once that is washed off, the apple is glossy. ¶ Both my samples have small, stubby stems nestled into their wells. A wide calyx allows me to peer into the bottom of the apple.
