Melrose Apple Tree
October 31, 2016
Melrose Apple is a beautiful, yellow/green skinned apple with dark red streaks and russet spots. Its firm, coarse, juicy, creamy-white flesh has a slightly acidic flavor and is very good for both cooking and in desserts. It continues to ripen off the tree and is best eaten after Christmas. One of the best storers, it can be kept until April at 31°F. It is the official Ohio State apple, where it has been planted extensively since its introduction in 1944. The tree itself is a vigorous, productive annual bearer with a spreading habit and moderate vigor.
