Ida Red Step-Over

A very handsome late ripening, deep red apple - a cross between Jonathan and Wagener from Idaho USA in 1942.  Crisp flesh and an uncomplicated sweet / acid tasting flesh. Great cooked as well as eaten fresh and stores exceptionally well.

As we grow it on other rootstocks, be sure that you want it as a Step-over.
