McIntosh Apple
The McIntosh was discovered around 1811 by John McIntosh on his farm in Ontario, Canada. Red and green with tender, white, juicy flesh and a sweet-tart, aromatic flavour, it became one of the most important apples of the northeastern United States and Canada, and a parent of many modern varieties.
