Golden Russett is a medium-sized apple with golden skin with russeting on it that ranges from a greyish-green to bronze.

The yellowish flesh inside is finely-textured and crisp, with very sweet juice. The flavour is particularly good after a sharp frost.

Golden Russetts are popular for cider -- their high sugar content can push alcohol content up to 7%. They are also good as a fresh-eating apple, and for drying.

The tree tends to be a biennial bearer.

History
