Note on Source This brief description from Downing (1900) provides foundational identification markers but lacks detailed pomological specification. No information is provided on tree characteristics (growth habit, bearing, foliage), precise fruit dimensions, cavity/calyx/basin structure, skin texture, core characteristics, or specific maturity season. For positive identification of an unknown specimen, cross-reference with contemporary nursery catalogs or other 19th-century pomologies documenting Southern apple varieties of the period.
