Gano Apple
Gano is a bright-red market apple of the Mississippi Valley, grown by the later nineteenth century and closely related to the Ben Davis type. Large, smooth, and attractive, it was valued more for its heavy bearing, handsome colour, and shipping and keeping qualities than for flavour. Its commercial role placed it among the apples the USDA documented.
