The fruit has smooth, pale green skin,^[2] changing to yellowish green when ready to pick,^[3] and is lumped and sometimes widely ribbed, with no apple russet.^[2] The flesh is off-white, sometimes tinged with green,^[3] with a sharp taste. It melts in cooking resulting in a good^[2] yellowish^[3] puree, used as a in apple jam^[2] or for apple sauce; it is not recommended for pies.^[3] It ripens in early mid-season (mid-August in the United Kingdom) and keeps fresh for about one week. It is self-sterile and a good pollinator for other apples.^[2]
