A nice, useful little apple with less tartness than a Granny Smith, but not a sweet apple. Quite hard and crunchy. Excellent flavor for eating, pie-making, and cider-making. This is my favorite apple, but here in NW Arkansas it is only available in the month of October at private fruit vendors, never in the grocery stores, although it does share the same hometown(Bentonville, AR) with Wal-Mart. A good keeper for as long as six to eight months in the refrigerator.
