Malus domestica Borkh. Borkh.
Dessert
Maiden Blush is a pale lemon-yellow apple with a crimson cheek, featuring white flesh that is sprightly and subacid. Valued for market and culinary uses, it makes excellent evaporated stock and stores well until mid-December. The tree is hardy, vigorous, and comes into bearing young, making it a reliable commercial variety that produces good to heavy crops.
