Peter

Peter is a dessert apple that originated from a Wealthy seedling and closely resembles its parent in appearance, flavor, and season. The flesh is firm, tender, and juicy with a mild subacid, aromatic flavor rated good to very good. The tree is a moderate grower that bears young and crops biennially, with fruit ripening in September and October, extending to January in cold storage.",
