  • Turley Winesap
    (1930, Indiana, USA) TURLEY WINESAP is an open pollinated seedling of Winesap, found in Hortoculturist Joe A. Burton's orchard in Lawrence County, Indiana, in 1900. Burton (1841-1925), who married Louisa Turley (m. 1870) developed the Turley Winesap, naming it after his son Turley Burton (b. 1874). He planted as many as 8,000 trees from seeds before arriving at the Turley Winesap. Medium to large in size, and round in shape, the skin is a dull red, covering most of the surface of the fruit, and the greenish-cream flesh is firm, juicy and subacid. The tree is a triploid and grows vigorously with strong scaffold branches. Since Turley is a triploid, it will not pollinate other cultivars. Planting should be limited. Turley Winesap resembles Stayman Winesap, but it is more crack resistant, and is considered of more delicate flavor than the Stayman. It is good for cooking or baking with fair-to-good dessert quality. The fruit keeps well in cold storage. As an apple variety, the Turley Winesap was of significant economic value, especially in the early part of the 20th century because of its ability to withstand long transport to market by railcar. It stores well and ripens in early October
  • Twenty Ounce Pippin
    (1844, New York) Mammoth fall apple with outstanding cooking properties.
  • Tydeman's Late Orange
    (1930, United Kingdom) A cross made by H. Tydeman between Worcester Pearmain and McIntosh. Makes an excellent pie.
