Also known as: French Pippin

This fine American apple arose in Burlington, New Jersey, and was first described in 1817. The name is derived from the appearance of a prominent fleshy protuberance at the base of the stem which is said to resemble an aquiline “Roman nose”. The vigorous growing tree has a spreading growth habit and is very productive. Fruit is small and round with whitish yellow skin and having a slight brown flush and small dark russet patches. The tender yellow flesh is tender, mild and juicy, with a rich, spicy and aromatic flavor. Ripens in September.
