Description
Canadian apple cultivar from the Golden family, developed by Agriculture Canada in Ontario. 'Brite Gold' produces attractive medium-sized golden-yellow apples, often flushed with pink or red. The creamy flesh is tender, juicy and sweet, with a slightly pear-like flavour. It is well suited to fresh eating and can also be used for processing and cider production. It produces remarkably beautiful, medium-sized (about 65 mm), conical apples with a golden yellow skin flushed with red. This mid-season apple is sweet, great for fresh eating, and also suitable for cider production thanks to its moderate sugar content and low levels of acidity and tannins.
