Parentage: Honeygold × SunriseSilken apple forms a graceful, moderately sized tree with soft white spring blossoms opening from pale pink buds. In fall, it produces medium-sized apples with pale yellow skin and a soft pink blush. The flesh is fine-textured, crisp, and sweet with gentle acidity, making it well suited to fresh eating and cooking. The apples are easily recognized by their cream-coloured flesh and thin, almost translucent skin. Harvest season is relatively short, but the tree maintains an open, balanced habit with an easy, natural structure.
