Cider Apples

  The Winter Banana (1876)

A showy apple - pale, thin waxy yellow skin with pink blush.



We found this mild tasting apple very hard but juicy.  I chose to plant it because many people talked about its distinctive banana aftertaste; but honestly, I couldn't discern it.

Although our box of Winter Bananas looked a little spotted, there was no rot inside.  The spots affected only the outside.

The Winter Banana serves as the pollinator for my Esopus Spitzenberg and also the Arkansas Black.
