Lisa,
I have read there is also a White Astrakan, but it is not known very much. I have the red one. It is a rather good very early apple. Better tasting than the Yellow Transparent in my opinion and about the same season.

Does anyone know anything about this apple?  I am reading an old book about New Hampshire and the author is singing its praises.  I noticed in the latest issue of Pomona that a Red Astrakan is mentioned. Are there different varieties?  Any info appreciated, thanks.  Lisa  Snow covered  12 degrees  zone 6
