This cultivar is a chance seedling possibly a hybrid of Grimes Golden and Golden Reinette.It is tolerant to most soil types and prefers to be in full sunlight, with some wind shelter.The fruit (when fresh from the tree) is exceptionally sweet, almost like eating raw sugar cane.  It can be used both for dessert and cooking purposes, and it also has an attractive appearance - which can indeed be golden if left to mature on the tree.
