Title: Pacific Gold Apple
Author: J.E. Miller Citation
Abstract:
The Pacific Gold apple originated
as a chance seedling near Myrtle
Point, in southwest Oregon.
I introduced
it either in the winter of 1947-
48 or 1948-49.
The tree is moderate in size,
with well-spaced, strong, wide-angled
limbs.
It bears young, and yields
heavy crops annually.
The fruit of Pacific Gold is very
large, with crisp, tender flesh, quite
sweet, and of fine dessert quality.
It's
just grand for salads or frying (doesn't
melt into a sauce), and is fine for baking
and pies.
Its. season is late FaIlor
early Winter.
With C. A. storage,
Pacific Gold should keep until Spring.
Although no trees are as yet available,
I can supply some scionwood
or buds.—J. E. Miller, 5595 Sierra
