A Bailey Nurseries introduction, this red selection of Haralson apple was discovered by Louis Lautz, an orchardist from La Crescent, MN. The fruit is redder and earlier than the standard Haralson, yet retains all the good qualities of Haralson: juicy, tart, firm, good keeper, extremely hardy and fireblight resistant. This is an excellent variety for Northern United States and Canada. Unsuitable pollinator for Haralson.
