About GoldRush
GoldRush is a late, yellow apple with firm, crisp flesh and a bright sweet-tart flavor that mellows in storage. It was bred for resistance to apple scab.
Growing GoldRush Apple
GoldRush requires a compatible pollinizer and a long season, often ripening very late. Harvest when fruit is fully mature but still firm, then store it, because flavor improves markedly after time in cold storage.
