Roxbury Russet is one of the oldest American apple varieties and was introduced in Roxbury, Massachusetts with the arrival of the Pilgrims. Fruit is medium to large with dull greenish-yellow to golden colored skin covered with a rough brownish-yellow russet coat. Roxbury Russets have a firm yet tender, slightly coarse, yellow-white flesh with a high sugar content that presents in an aftertaste of honey. Although it has some tartness, it is like all russets, a fundamentally sweet apple with a unique brisk sweet flavor. Ripens September to October and does not store very well, 3-6 weeks.
