Notes from GRIN
Fruit and tree indistinguishable from Delicious; except fruit redder; colors earlier and darker than Delicious; blush color pattern; attractive light cherry red. Red- fruited mutation of Delicious.

Developed in: Washington, United States
Whole-tree, red-fruited mutation of Delicious; discovered 1915; intro. 1927 by the C & O Nursery of Wenatchee, WA.

One of the earliest commercialized sports of Red Delicious.
