   I forgot to mention one attribute of this apple; The flesh is quite 
dense, requiring a bit more chewing than most eating apples.

   One of the apple trees I got from the former Bear Creek is definitely
not the variety I ordered and I'm hoping you can guess which variety.  The
fruit ripens late September to Early October.  It is green but slightly less
intensely green (yellower?) than a Granny Smith.  It has no red blush, no
hint of red at all.  It could be said that it is a yellow-green and has tiny
dots of darker green throughout its surface. Fruits are (very slightly)
flattened, a hair smaller than a baseball.  Flesh is white and browns
(oxidizes) readily.  Pleasant flavor, not aromatic; good, fresh-eating
apple.
   The tree has a spreading habit and has withstood -45?.
