  Planted my NW Greening Apple tree years ago and love it. It's very late to full ripen. Great for baking and I love to steam and freeze to add to oatmeal over the winter. I find the raw apples have a hint of pear.

  The perfect pie apple. Not too much juice, great flavor, holds shape well!

  Is about the only apple I care to eat, great for stuffing into pockets and eating during deer season. when harvested and kept in rootceller or frig wrapped in paper I am still eating a nice looking, great tasting apple in May, if I haven't eaten them all up already.

  I just had my first taste of NW Greening (12 Oct. '13) in E. WA, and found it surprisingly good eaten in hand. Something about our basalt/sandy soil and dry summers that brings out the best in this and another Wisconsin apple, Wolf River? I look forward to using these massive apples in the kitchen.

  Very large fruited green-yellow skinned apple that is extremely cold hardy and excellent for cooking. Has a unique flavor. Very poular in western WI and Minnesota.
