The King of Tompkins County (or "Tompkins King") is a large, heirloom, all-purpose apple known for its yellow-green skin with red blushing, coarse, crisp flesh, and sweet-tart flavor. It is an excellent choice for eating fresh, baking, and cider. This, hardy, late-season apple thrives in USDA zones 5–10, maturing into a large tree that requires a different apple variety for pollination.
