The Ginger Gold was found as a chance seedling growing among twisted uprooted trees in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. It is descended from Golden Delicious and Albermarle Pippin.

This is the best of the early golden apples. It is sweet, tangy and juicy; consistently scoring very high in taste tests. It doesn't discolor when cut, maintaining its crisp white flesh. The oval shaped fruits are a smooth greenish yellow ripening to an attractive golden yellow with some red blush. Ginger Gold is a perfect multi-purpose apple great for snacking, salads, and baking.
