Not to be confused with the genetically modified trademarked apple with non-browning technology under the same name. The original Arctic was introduced to orchardists throughout the Northeast and Canada as an extremely cold-hardy apple.
Medium-large round-conic fruit has smooth greenish-yellow skin covered with red blush and darker red stripes, prominent dots and a russet splash around the stem. Often compared to Baldwin, which is not quite as hardy but stores longer. Although slices of this Arctic may brown if left out for too long, we think it’s a better choice than the engineered one. Z2.
