White Transparent

Some sources consider the papirovka to be identical to the White Transparent, but in Russia the two cultivars are considered distinct.

White Transparent is a chance seedling which was found in the Wagner nursery in Riga around 1850.

Compared to the White Transparent, Papirovka apples are larger, more sour, and without any blush in their yellow-white color.

Malus domestica White Transparent (also known as Yellow Transparent in the USA) is a cultivar of apple which is usually used for cooking due to its sharp taste.
