Considered by many to be one of the finest American apples for hard cider making, Golden Russet possesses delicate tannins and high sugar content, with firm flesh and a dry bright, pineappley taste. It is also one of the most delicious russet (rough-skinned) apples for fresh eating. Discovered as a seedling in New York c. 1845, likely of English Russet parentage.
