Kerry Pippin is an early dessert apple of highest excellence, in use during September and October. The fruit is roundish-oval with greenish-yellow skin changing to pale yellow with red streaks and sometimes bright crimson on the sunny side. The flesh is yellowish-white, firm, crisp, and very juicy with a rich, sugary, brisk, and aromatic flavor. The tree is hardy, a good bearer of moderate size, well-suited for grafting on paradise stock as dwarf or espalier.
