Vanderspiegel Apple
Vanderspiegel is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Bennington, Vermont, US (before 1875). It was grown primarily for eating. Flesh is yellow, crisp, juicy, subacid. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with a watercolour study, painted by Bertha Heiges, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
