SMOOTHEE
A mid season apple - one of Pam's favorites!
Green/yellow in color, producing a lovely pink blush as it ripens. Crisp juicy bite, creamy colored flesh, good for baking, applesauce and cider. A good keeper. |
ENTERPRISE
Mid-to-late season red apple. Firm and crisp, with a spicy aroma and mild tartness. Great for cooking and baking. Keeps 5-6 months if refrigerated.

GOLD RUSH
This dessert apple has a tart, tangy flavor that sweetens with age. Very crisp bite. Excellent fresh or in pies and crisps.
