Good eating and pie apple
This is cedar resistant plus an antique variety. I wish it was a dwarf but was glad to find it. Was going to order Gold Rush but it is not resistant to cedar rust.

To make cinnamon apples for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are hard to find. Plus, I’d like an apple tree in my yard.
