Early 1800s cider apple. This variety is one of several Limbertwig variants that have regained popularity in the recent decades. First trees were probably chance seedlings in the southern Appalachians Mountain Ranges. The modern Limbertwig strains are thanks to breeding and cultivation efforts of Henry Morton who propagated several dozen Limbertwig strains in the 1980s. Now, as was back then, the apple is commonly used in cider production.
The apple itself ranges quite widely in appearance depending on growing climate. While cold hardy, it prefers slightly warmer environments to reach peak ripeness. The apples ranges in color from yellow to a dull red and is quite large. Described as having a herbal spicy flavor in over yellow flesh.
The apple tree weeps slightly making for easy pruning. It also produces abundant apples and is disease resistant.
