Characteristics
'Creston' is a triploid, with poor pollen production and seedlings from it are generally weak.[2] Its fruit are large, self-thinning, resembling 'Jonagold', with good keeping characteristics, flavour, and texture. They are suitable for eating fresh, and for making pies and applesauce.[2]
