White Transparent

White Transparent is a type of apple that originated in Russia in the 19th century. It is known for its early ripening and is often used for cooking due to its sharp taste.

History

The White Transparent apple was first cultivated in Russia in the 19th century. It was introduced to other parts of the world, including North America and Europe, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The apple is known for its early ripening, often being the first apple to be harvested in the season.

Characteristics

The White Transparent apple is medium-sized with a pale yellow to almost transparent skin, hence its name. The flesh of the apple is also white, and it has a sharp, acidic taste. This makes it ideal for cooking, especially for making apple sauce and apple pie.

Cultivation

White Transparent apples are hardy and can be grown in a variety of climates. They are resistant to most diseases, but are susceptible to apple scab. The trees are medium-sized and produce a heavy crop. The apples ripen early in the season, usually in late July or early August.

Uses

Due to their sharp taste, White Transparent apples are often used for cooking. They make excellent apple sauce and apple pie. They can also be eaten fresh, but their sharp taste may not appeal to everyone.
