Turkey Knob Apples

Availability
This apple should be available for sale in mid October.

Flavor, Texture, Usage
Rome apples are quite large, a deep red, and are known for their long storage capability. Just picked, Rome's flavor is semi-tart, but is enhanced when cooked or sauteed, which makes Rome a good candidate for cooking and baking. The pale, firm flesh makes this apple a favorite, whether eaten fresh or baked in a pie!

History
The Rome apple was introduced in Rome Township, Ohio in the mid 1800s.

A Word from Mother Nature on Shipping
Please note, that because we are dealing with a product of nature, we reserve the right to allow up to 2 weeks, to process an order. If your order needs to be delayed for any reason, we will notify you. We typically ship apples on Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid the shipment being held at a depot over the weekend. On some occasions, if we know that FedEx can deliver in less than 3 days, we may ship your order on Wednesdays.
