Bisbee Giant Winesap

Found near Hood River, Oregon (U.S.A.) by Roy Bisbee in 1963, possibly a seedling of Winesap. Round conic with angular faces. The base colour is green, over which is a deep red wash. A slight bloom develops on the skin as the fruit ripens. The stem is medium long and medium stout, set in a deep and narrow, russetted cavity. The flesh is greenish white, medium-grained, firm. Browns quickly on exposure to air.
