Duchess of Oldenburg is a grandparent of the beloved Northern Spy and McIntosh. It’s a medium-sized, flat, rectangular fruit that ripens around August. It has thick, glossy, greenish to pale yellow skin almost covered with crimson stripes and splashes. It’s tart and makes excellent pies and sauces. The fruit becomes mealy if overripe and doesn’t store well. It’s a medium-sized, extremely hardy, and long-lived tree. It’s an annual producer, bears when young, and it’s resistant to apple scab, cedar-apple rust, and fire blight. It tolerates moist or heavy soils. A real tough work horse of an apple tree!
