Origin. Botanists cannot establish the exact origin of this variety, but have concluded that it could have arisen in two ways: as a result of an unknown mutation or improper pollination. The first tree with such fruits was discovered in 1905 in Southern Virginia, of which it is a symbol. The plant grew on the property of a farmer named Anderson Mullins, and later the seedlings were sold to a company that began to grow apple trees of this variety on an industrial scale. These fruits began to reach our country only in the second half of the last century. Many believe that this crop is related to the Red Delicious variety, but experts say that this opinion is incorrect.

Appearance. The shape of apples of this variety is slightly elongated and widens towards the stalk. The peel of the fruit is green, dense, and upon final ripening it becomes golden, which is why the variety received its name. Dots or barely noticeable streaks may appear on the surface. The average weight of one specimen is most often about 120 grams, and in regions especially favorable for cultivation it reaches 170 grams.

Taste characteristics. The taste characteristics of apples of this variety can be called universal. They are very juicy and sweet, with caramel notes. The texture of the pulp is more delicate than that of many other varieties, and its shade can be cream or pale yellow.
