I'd concur that Egremont Russett, Golden Russet, Roxbury Russet, and St.
Edmunds Pippin, each of which is a bit different, are all good to eat out of
hand. I also like Zabergau Reinette and Ashmead's Kernal. My experience is
that all these russeted varieties tend to acquire a moldy taste upon storage,
but that could just be how and where I'm storing them.
Hudson's Golden Gem is yet another russet I really do enjoy, with its
slightly nutty flavor making it different yet from the others.

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Egremont Russet

I've had one branch on one tree for many years. It was sent to me by
a Nafexer 20+ years ago. I assume it is correct. It is relatively
early ripening (late summer), does not keep and the fruit size is not
large - "medium" at best. I like the fruit however. When dead on
ripe, it's good for eating out of hand. I'd be happy to send you
scionwood in a couple of months.
