Heirloom Apple Varieties
Yellow Transparent
Dr. Hoskins of Newport, Vermont introduced this Russian apple to the USA in 1870. It became very popular and almost every farmstead had a tree. The flesh is soft and tart. Traditionally a sauce apple, it is one of the first fresh apples of the season. Pale yellow, smooth skin, bruises readily. Look for this variety in our Farm Market starting in August.
