An outstanding late apple. Good flavor and texture. Yellow apple later and crisper than Golden delicious but not as sweet.

Although Branstool Orchard grows Winter Banana for a pollinator, I've bought a few bags from them. I really enjoy making applesauce with them, as they have a nice flavor and texture. They taste nothing like banana to me - I wonder if the name comes from the color. The apples I get from this orchard are very large - as can be seen by the photo I posted of them in a peck size bag.
