Zone 3 - Vermont, 1866 - Standard rootstock

Cooking, Fresh Eating
Mid-Late season

Bottle Greening was a seedling found in a Vermont orchard in the early 19th century and first recorded in 1866. Through the years pickers used the tree, which had a convenient hollow trunk, to hide their bottles. A funny story, but this apple tree is much more than just a rustic liquor cabinet. A probable seedling of Rhode Island Greening, it is upright growing becoming more pendulous with age. The fruits are grass green, sometimes with a soft yellow cast. The flesh is white and firm but tender and juicy. It is a very fine cooking apple, and a good eating apple.
