	Probably the best feature of this apple is the fact that it keeps so well over winter. Beautiful, large carmine red apple with creamy, very crisp flesh. Sweet tasting and very low acid. Ripens late and holds on the tree well. Unfortunately found to bruise fairly easily in transit which has affected it's commercial sales and plantings. A chance seedling found in Napier, NZ 1964
