A Stayman (or Stayman's Winesap) is a triploid apple cultivar developed in 1866 by Joseph Stayman of Leavenworth, KS. There are two other varieties of Stayman apples; one is green, the other yellow. Joseph Stayman of Leavenworth, KS developed it in 1866; sold by nurseries from 1895. Staymans remain a locally popular cultivar of apple where grown.

Characteristics

Stayman is a medium-sized, roundish-conic apple with a thick greenish-yellow skin covered almost entirely with a deep red blush, darker red stripes and russet dots. The stem cavity often shows heavy russetting. Firm, tender, finely-textured juicy, crisp yellowish-green flesh is tart and spicy. Staymans keep very well. They are used primarily as a dessert apple, but also make a fine addition to blended cider.
