Heirloom Apple Varieties
Hudson’s Golden Gem
An American apple from the early 1900s. The original tree was a chance seedling found growing in a hedgerow. Trees of Antiquity offers more information on the Gem’s origin story. This golden russeted apple has a crisp, sweet flesh with a nutty, ripe pear flavor. This is one of the favorite apples at our tastings. Also lovely in that it is winter hardy and disease resistant. Harvests early October through the month.
