It’s one of the best red fleshed types here in Maine, very fruity!

Beautiful apple. Lovely flesh. Did it just ripen there? Is it white in the middle normally or is it because it is not completely ripe? I know nothing about about red apples.
It ripens fine, it is a late variety. The center it typically white

I picked mine in August…half red this year, mostly red last year. Unimpressive as I’d rather eat it’s father, Niedzwedzkyana.

I just picked the last of mine. It looks exactly like the picture, just bigger.
I agree that it is a late variety. Picked earlier, it is much more sour – not really edible as a dessert apple. But picked now here, it is less sour, more sweet.
Fwiw, my tree is extremely vigorous and productive. The rootstock is B.118.
My Redfield is on M111…but I have a graft of it on a Geneva rootstock…bloomed but no fruit set past couple seasons. Maybe it’ll taste a little different off the dwarf tree.
I’ll do a little trimming on the older tree in 3 months or so…since Redfield likes to grow crooked leaders, I’m going to remove the leader and see if 5 or 6 scaffolds produce better.

Fyi, I grafted it to G.41 as well. It bore fruit the next year and since.
I also grafted Otterson to G.41. It has done well too. A very pretty tree. It’s still young but I think it ripens earlier than Redfield.
