One of the most unusually shaped apples. The tree produces beautiful orange, red, and yellow apples that have distinct ridges. The apple was popular at one time and is described in a variety of books and pamphlets from the 1800’s into the early 1900’s.
The book “The Apples of New York”, by S.A.Beach, volume 2, 1903, describes the Fall Jenetting as “very good for culinary uses and acceptable for dessert; is not a good keeper.”
Another book stated that the Fall Jeneting “is a variety that cannot possibly be beaten in the way of canning apples.”

It is of good size and attractive enough in appearance to make a good market apple, but it is not above second rate in quality. Historical. Grown from seed of the Yellow Bellflower by Sarah Dickinson, Westchester, Pennsylvania……..
