Cider Apples

Hudson's Golden Gem (1931)


Found in a fenceline thicket in Tangent Oregon in 1931, Hudson's Golden Gem is the shape of a Bosc pear and has a sweet, pear-like flavor.  It was originally marketed in the 1930s as a pear!


I'm a fan of russets and Hudson's Golden Gem is a fine quality russet apple, perfect  for making cider.
