bhutanica macrocarpa

This apple was donated to the USDA collection in Geneva, NY from an unknown source in Oregon - Malus bhutanica (toringoides), USDA PI 588930, Geneva collection (GMAL 259). It is a tetraploid so it will likely not produce offspring.

The small (2.5 cm—1”) fruit (large for Bhutanicas) resembles Centennial in shape and color; it has reddish-blushed skin and yellow, astringent flesh that is very juicy. Late blooming at SCF. Our scionwood was obtained from USDA, Geneva, NY. Currently growing at Super Chilly Farm.
