Holstein are large-sized apples, slightly oval, and flattened at the bottom.

They have yellow skin covered with a reddish-orange blush, with occasional russetting.

Inside, the creamy-yellow flesh is firm, juicy, aromatic, and slightly coarsely textured.

It has good flavour, being a good balance of sweetness and tartness.

The fruit ripens late-September in England.

The tree won't pollinate other apple trees.

Cooking Tips
For fresh-eating or for pies.

History
Holstein Apples were developed from a Cox's Orange Pippin seedling tree in Hamburg, Germany in 1918.
