The apple is round, conical, and flat bottomed. It is suffused with a red-orange blush over a yellow backgrond and the yellowish flesh is coarse and chunky. This fruit is probably a chance seedling of Cox's Orange Pippin, and it has the aromatic qualities of Cox's without all of the difficulties in cultivation. The flesh does not brown after cutting.
Holstein originated in Germany in 1918. It was raised in a backyard garden in Holstein by a teacher named Vahldik.
