Snow is a crisp, juicy apple, sweet-tart with a slight strawberry flavor. Snow is excellent for both fresh-eating and for cider. Harvest is in early October.

History
One of Snow’s claim to fame is that it is one of the parents of McIntosh. Like the Mac, it hails from Canada, growing best in a colder climate. It was first grown around 1730.
