Gloria Mundi

Description

Harvest: Late
Description: Tip and Spur-bearer. A large cooking apple with an unusual oblong, heavily ribbed shape. The sides are often unequal. It has greenish-yellow skin with a faint, bronze blush
Taste: The greenish-yellow flesh is coarse, moderately crisp and quite acid, becoming mellower when fully ripe
Uses: Although it is not considered a good fresh-eating apple, it is a fine cooking variety
Background: The origin of this variety is somewhat unclear. Some think it originated from Germany in 1804. Some sources say it may have first been grown before 1800 on the farm of Mr. Crooks of Red Hook, NY. Other sources say the apple arose on Long Island, NY while some references state that this is the same apple as Baltimore Monstrous Pippin which originated in 1780 in Baltimore, MD
