Grosh Apple
Grosh is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Pennsylvania, US (before 1855). It was grown primarily for cooking. Flesh white, loose, soft, juicy, aromatic, subacid, good to very good. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with 3 watercolour studies (1840–1875), painted by Mary Daisy Arnold and Royal Charles b. Steadman, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
