Mann Apple

Historical USDA watercolour of the Mann Apple apple, painted 1840–1875

Mann is a late-keeping apple raised in Oneida County, New York, around 1844. Greenish-yellow ripening to deep yellow with a faint blush, it is a firm, mild, juicy apple that holds in storage into spring. Bred for reliability and long keeping, it was documented by the USDA among the storage apples of its day.
