Baptist (Claygate Permain)
Green skin with splashes of red on one side. Russet on the bottom half and a little near the top. Long and very stout stem. Crisp and very sweet. Juice runs down your chin when you bite into it, Excellent! Ripens October 28. Found at the Babtist Bible College, formerly the TB Hospital, in Salem, OR. The students used these apples to make apple cider for Halloween. After a misguided pruning to this old tree in 1990, it wasn’t bearing and was cut down about three years later. The tree was later identified as Claygate Permain
