Heirloom Apple Varieties
Kavanaugh
Maine origins, Damariscotta Mills, 1790. Once prolific along the Maine coast. Might also be found under the name Cathead, due to its tapering shape from broad shoulders. Bright green under prolific russet. Yellow flesh that melts quickly into an ideal sauce. Late bloomer. This Press Herald story highlights a compelling story about the perhaps oldest living Kavanaugh in the world.
