Showing posts with the label Sunrise

Sunrise *

Not to be confused with Sunrise Magic , an unrelated later-season apple, my Sunrise is decidedly oblate and blocky, with moderate ribbing and an orange red blush that partially covers green yellow.  ¶  Close inspection finds many tiny tan lenticel dots in the blush. They are even harder to find, and green, in the unblushed regions. The calyx is slightly parted on these and there is some russet in the stem well.

Update: Looks like this was actually Sunrise Magic , a new variety from Washington State that I have re-reviewed. More on this confusion below. These medium-sized apples are mostly conical and tapered, though one sample is a bit rounder. They are ribbed, sometimes markedly so, with calyxes that fairly gape—you can see right inside them. The wash of orange-red blush covers a pale yellow peel tinged with green. There are many faint tiny lenticel dots, easier to spot in the unblushed portion but not prominent anywhere.
