Ginda,

I have an apple called Jupiter. It's a Cox's Orange cross from England. 
1981.

Crawford describes it as large round-conical, greenish-yellow striped 
and flushed orange-red; flesh white, sweet, juicy, aromatic, flavour 
intense, robust; fruit often misshapen; pick early October, stores to 
January. Triploid.

I haven't had fruit yet.
