GoldRush Apple
GoldRush is an excellent keeper, all-purpose apple, and as rich in color as it is in taste. Its skin is gold, often mixed with some red and green, and its combination of sweet and tart make it a spicy, complex treat. This crunchy, aromatic apple is a late-season variety, ready for picking in October.
