September Ruby Apple

The hardy September Ruby Apple is dependable for our cold prairie climate.

Once ripe, this enjoyable apple is nicely sweet and flavoured. Wonderful juice maker, great for fresh eating and all your favourite apple recipes. The skin has a light green base and ripens in stripes to a deep warm dark red in colour. The average size of the apples is around 5 to 7 cm (2 1/2") in diameter. The flesh is greenish, crisp and moderately acidic.
