Description/Taste
The Golden Russet apple is an old-world medium, round, golden, russeted apple. It can have green skin with a grey russet, but when bathed in sunlight the skin becomes golden, coppery bronze, with splotches of peachy color. The flesh of the Golden Russet apple is fine-grained, yellow, crisp and juicy. Its flavor is described as a divine combination of sweet, subacid, and even spicy. The Golden Russet apple tree has dark reddish-olive bark with white lenticels and dark green leaves that are sharply serrated.
Seasons/Availability
The Golden Russet apple is available for picking mid to late fall.

Geography/History
The Golden Russet apple was known about in the 1700s and most likely sprang from New York. Some have speculated that it may descend from the English russet apple.

Whichever its lineage, little is know about its origin. The Golden Russet apple tree is semi dwarf in size and is resistant to apple scab as well as cedar apple rust.
