  Crisp and juicy early harvest (September 1,2018 in Massachusetts USDA zone 6A). Flavor like Yellow Delicious, but crisper and a little more acid/complex.

  This is one of the few apple trees that will bear fruit this far south. We are right on the edge of 8a and 8b zones. The tree is shaded part of the day by a house to the east and a Bradford pear to the west. It takes quite a while into September to get a blush if at all. Even though they stay pretty green, they taste nice. I prefer Red Delicious from the store, but those for sure will not bear this far south. Nice tree that does not need a neighbor. Probably will plant a neighbor anyway since I really like the tree. First year of producing (2nd year after planting?) got maybe 6 apples about the size of golf balls from a 10 ft tree. Now the 3rd year of producing and getting nice sized apples when the critters don't get there first. Hoping for a really nice crop from a 15 ft tree next year. Only got a dozen this year, but tasty and medium size.

  I just had some of these from a local fruit farm. Either these were picked early or they are just naturally a starchy apple. I was very disappointed. Not very sweet (light sweetness) and fairly juicy. I was considering one of the Molly's Delicious as one of the fruit trees I was going to plant. I wanted an early apple that was not soft and mushy to eat. This is not soft and mushy but not very flavorful.

  I tried this in Aug 2012 at a local upick. It was sweet, but not superb. I also tried a zestar that day and preferred the complexity of the zestar to the mollie.
