Aunt Cora's Field Apple

Aunt Cora died in the 1970s at age ninety-seven after a lifetime as a well-known African American midwife in Bath County, Birginia. Her father grew these trees from seed while enslaved to a very cruel master in Bath County. Fruit is small, roundish to slightly oblate, greenish yellow with dark red stripes and spots of russet. Flesh is whitish, moderately juicy with a nutty flavor. Subacit to almos sweet. Ripens in October and is a good keeper
