White Transparent
An amazingly popular apple by virtue of its many names (eg Klarapfel, Kornapfel, Augustapfel) and the many places in which it is grown. Can ripen as early as Christmas. The skin is a pearly pale green/yellow, with very sprightly acid / sweet taste that once tried is quite unforgettable. The flesh is often glassy. Should be eaten directly from the tree. Originated in Russia long ago and spread through Europe in the 1800's.
