    Large, fairly attractive red-striped apple with excellent, sweet-tart flavor and crisp, juicy flesh. It stores well, even in the refrigerator. It picks quite late in the fall, so don't rush to pick it before its time.

    It originated as a chance seedling. It was found in a Red Delicious orchard near Dryden, Washington in the 1980's, and was first known as Caudle cultivar. so it seems likely, given the shape and colour, that Red Delicious was one of the parents.
