Anything that remains popular for 300 years has something going for it. This was Thomas Jefferson's favorite apple, and is still cited by apple connoisseurs as one of the finest. Dont pick it all at once, it ripens unevenly and must be harvested over several weeks. Leave it on the tree or store it to develop the rich aromatic flavor and fine-grained texture. Excellent keeper; attains a yellow-orange color when ready for eating. Distinctive slender growth habit - tree produces many long willowy branches that must be thinned annually. Ripens in September-October, depending on location. USDA zones 5-9, Sinset zones 1-7, 14-18.
