Cameo Apple History

The Cameo was discovered by chance in a Dryden Washington orchard in 1987. Its parentage is thought to be Red Delicious and a Golden Delicious since it was found near orchards of those fruits. It also appears similar to the original Delicious cultivar.

It is bright red striped over creamy orange, firm and crisp with an aromatic flavor. It is rapidly becoming a favorite, and is now among the top ten most grown apples in Washington state.
