Spartan
The fruits are medium in size, and round-conical, but a little irregular in shape. The skin has a base of yellow which is almost entirely covered with a deep wine red and some broken purple stripes. On the tree it displays a lilac waxy bloom similar to that of a purple plum. If wiped off the apple displays a high gloss coat. The flesh inside is white, crisp and juicy, and displays many of the characteristics of the Mcintosh flavour- rich, sweet yet acid, with a fruity aroma, said to resemble a mixture of melon and strawberry.
