Heirloom Apple Varieties
Wolf River
This apple is from Wisconsin around the mid 1800’s, first discovered near the river of its name. Parentage is believed to be of the Russian Alexander. It became a very popular culinary apple in New England; they were so popular that they were packed in barrels and shipped to England. It’s a wonderful pie and baking apple- sometimes one apple is enough to make an entire pie. Deep red skin with a bright white flesh. Wolf River is particularly noted for its seedling progeny to be remarkably similar to their parents. Picked slightly underrippened as fruit will rot if left to mature on trees. Look for it in late September.
