Please look at our Cosmic Crisp and Honeycrisp listings for variety info on those. Following is info on the other 3 possible varieties that you may find on your tree:
Sunrise Magic
This new apple variety was developed in Washington and is a cross between Splendour and Gala. The apple has an attractive pinkish-red blush with conspicuous lenticels. Consumers describe it as sweet with moderate acidity, making it perfect for fresh eating. The apple is harvested about a week after Cosmic Crisp, during Red Delicious season, and stores exceptionally well.
Chehalis
This old favorite was discovered north of Chehalis WA in 1937. This is a large, sweet yellow apple that resembles Golden Delicious in looks and flavor but it is crispier and larger. This is a reliable, highly productive variety well suited for organic growers; it is highly resistant to scab and has good mildew resistance. Fruit ripens in September. Great for fresh eating and for baking and saucing.
Gravenstein
The Gravenstein apple - which has been in cultivation for at least 350 years - is one of the earliest apples to ripen in the Northern Hemisphere each year. It is ready to harvest as early as late July and early August, a good month or two ahead of most fall-harvest apples. Considered one of the best all-around apples, the Gravenstein has a crisp, slightly acid, tart-sweet flavor and is juicy with a full apple aroma. It is not only tasty for eating out of hand but is excellent for baking and cooking. Use the Gravenstein to make the season’s first apple pies, sauce, and cider. But, it does need to be used up within 2 or 3 weeks because they do not store in their fresh state over a long period of time.
