Marie/Richard,

Elstar is Ingrid Marie x Golden Delicious. It has Cox's Orange as a 
grandparent. From Holland 1972. It is an excellent eating and cooking 
apple. It stays white when peeled so it is great for salads, BUT it is 
very susceptible to anthracnose canker.

You don't say where you are, but if you are in a cool wet area, I'd stay 
away from it.

Actually I understand it is a 'maritime' apple and doesn't like hot 
areas either.
