Titovka Apple
Titovka is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Russia (before 1870). It was grown primarily for cooking. Flesh is white, juicy, subacid, good to very good. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with 2 watercolour studies (1840–1860), painted by Deborah Griscom Passmore and Amanda Almira Newton, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
