Fruit color is golden with an orange blush. This dual purpose apple matures approximately one week after Golden Delicious, has a sweet mildly acidic taste, and typically stores up to six months. The tree has a medium vigor with an upright growth habit. Thinning decreases the tendency towards biennial bearing. Site selection is critical as this variety is prone to russet.
