Notes from USDA GRIN

This is the most popular and well known of all apples raised in Tasmania. It is a late variety, highly colored and a good keeper. Though not possessing a delicate flavor, it is eagerly sought for dessert purposes because of its brilliant red color. Size medium 57-45mm; shape intermediate truncate-conic, convex, indistinctly ribbed; skin greenish yellow, almost covered dull carmine flush; flesh firm, greenish-white; flavor subacid; season very late.

Locality: Australia, found growing on orchard property of J.D. Duffy, Glenusa, near Hobart, Tasmania around 1900.

Thought to be a seedling of Hoover.
