Russet apple trees
Russet apples often have quite sweet and nuanced flavours, and are usually excellent choices for making apple juice. They are characterised by their golden brown sandpaper-like skin, which typically covers some or possibly the whole apple.
This skin seems to make the apples less attractive to insect pests, so most russet apples have a reputation for being reliable and disease-resistant.
