Perry Russet Scionwood

It is a large yellow green apple often with shiny skin and only occasionally covered with a fine russet. It has juicy fine grained yellow flesh, rich and acidic in flavor and excellent for pies. Described in "Horticulturist" in 1862 by a grower in Wisconsin who had been testing all the best varieties of his time. He said of Perry Russet, "too many cannot be had, as it is the best of all the russets"
