GOLD COAST (+1) (AKA NY415) A beautiful, huge, greenish-yellow skinned triploid from the Geneva NY breeding program. An offspring of Doud's tetraploid Golden. Tarter than Golden Delicious.

GOLDEN RUSSET (+3) -- A medium sized, russet coated antique. This and Roxbury Russet were the best known American russets of the nineteenth century. Crisp yellow sugary flesh of very good quality. Excellent keeper under high humidity storage conditions. Still considered to be one of the best apples for cider of all time.

GOLDRUSH (+3) First disease resistent release (from Purdue) with world class eating quality and shelf life. Medium sized. Greenish-yellow coat with some russet. Semi-tart. Keeps as well as Fuji.

GRANNY SMITH (+6) -- A very late maturing, medium sized, tart-flavored, grass green skinned apple from Australia. To reach perfection, Granny Smith requires a very long growing season, such as our California grower has. A good quality apple, an outstanding keeper with a winning name.

GRIMES GOLDEN (-.5) -- A medium to small-sized yellow-skinned apple of the nineteenth century. Quality similar to Golden Delicious which is believed to be an offspring. Highly susceptible to collar rot, which usually kills the tree. Mild, sweet, spicy flavor. Not a good keeper.
