Wealthy (apple)

Apple of the variety Wealthy, photographed in conjunction with the Apple Festival at the Nordic Museum, Stockholm, Sweden in September 2014.

The Wealthy is an American apple cultivar, and was the earliest to thrive in the Minnesota climate. Horticulturalist Peter Gideon grew it after years of trial and error with various apple varieties, and the fruit was described in 1869.[1][2]
