Everything about The Roxbury Russet totally explained
The
Roxbury Russet is believed to be the oldest variety of
apple bred in the United States, having first been seen in the mid-1600s in the former Town of
Roxbury, part of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony southwest of (now part of)
Boston. It is a greyish-green
russet apple known for its good winter keeping qualities as well as its suitability for making
cider. It isn't widely grown or commercially available due to general commercial disfavor for russet varieties, but it's available in the 21st century from growers that specialize in
heirloom plants. Also, it's occasionally available in fall in farmer's markets in the northeast.
Other names for the variety include "Boston Russet" and "Leathercoat".
