Bailey Sweet, also referred to as Bailey's Sweet or just Bailey, is a cultivar of the domesticated apple. Bailey Sweets were first farmed around 1840 in Petty, Wyoming County, New York. [2] [3]: 34 Other names for it have included Edgerly Sweet, Howard's Sweet, and Paterson's Sweet. [3] [4]
Appearance and flavor
Bailey Sweet apples are medium- to large-sized apples. They tend spherical, if at times conical. [2] The skin is red and the flesh is yellowish and crisp. [2]
Bailey Sweets are for eating, not cooking. The flesh is juicy and "distinctly sweet". [2] They are in season beginning in October to January or February. [5]
Cultivation
Bailey Sweet apples are not recommended for cultivation. [5] The trees are typically productive, but unless sprayed, they tend to produce a high percentage of low-grade fruits. [2] It is susceptible to disease. [4]
The fruits are sometimes " scabby and knotty" when grown in certain areas and they generally do not store well. [2] [6]
