Hunt's Green Newtown Pippin
Malus domestica Borkh. Borkh.
Dessert
The Green Newtown and Yellow Newtown are closely related varieties, likely sports or strains of the same type, discussed together due to their similarity. Both are medium to very large apples with fine, aromatic subacid flavor suitable for dessert and culinary uses. They are successfully grown in the Hudson valley and Long Island, have long been in commercial cultivation since the early 18th century, and command premium prices for export, particularly to Europe.
