Yellow June is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Southern US (before 1865). It was grown primarily for eating. Flesh is white, tender, juicy, brisk, subacid, good. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with 2 watercolour studies (1840–1873), painted by Ellen Isham Schutt and Deborah Griscom Passmore, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
