Nodhead *

Another great name! Though apparently "Jewett Red" may sometimes be preferred.

Nodhead is roughly medium sized with pronounced ribs and a blush that runs from streaky (over greenish yellow) to crimson with deep purplish streaks (rather like the coloring of Blue Pearmain). The blush is accented with many small light lenticels.

The flesh is a tender coarse yellow and carries a good amount of juice. Nodhead is mild and mellow, not at all acid but also not overpoweringly sweet, and with enough range to be interesting. A mild old-style apple with cider and watermelon notes.
