Shizuka

Shizuka was developed in Japan from a cross between Golden Delicious and Indo. It has the same parentage as Orin and Mutsu. Fruit is very large with a green to yellow skin that occasionally shows a pink blush. Fruit is sweeter than Mutsu and is harvested in late September to early October. Tree growth is very spreading. The flesh is crisp, yellowish-white and course in texture, with a flavor similar to Golden Delicious. It's a good all purpose apple.
