Northwestern Greening is an apple described as a cross of Golden Russet and Alexander. The fruit is very large and yellow, with crisp, firm flesh and a slight aroma. It ripens in late midseason [S1].
One source calls it a great pie apple, citing Manchester. The entry also gives it an H3 rating, explained here as borderline hardy, and points to Brooks and Morden as the cited reference source [S1].
