Description
One of the most widely planted apples in Colorado’s early orchards; and it is still found in our historic orchards today. When we ask our old orchardists what their favorite apple is – a usual answer is, “Well, Winter Banana is about as good as any.” This apple is beautiful from its fruit to the tree itself. Yellow fruit with a pretty pink blush; flesh is firm, tangy, juicy. Its flavor is mild, and when grown here in Colorado – the aromatic flavor of banana is detectable. Good fresh; flavor does not hold up when cooked, but good in pie when mixed with other varieties. Excellent pollinator.
