Ridge
Malus domestica Borkh. Borkh.
Dual Purpose
Ridge is a yellow apple with good keeping qualities and dual-purpose appeal for both fresh eating and cooking. The tree is hardy, vigorous, and reliable, producing consistent biennial crops. Although long known in cultivation, it has gained little commercial recognition in New York despite its quality and uniform size.
