Any one of us can recall the precise moment we first tried a Smokehouse apple. Some note the flavor to fill your mouth like smoke. However, it is believed the name actually derives from its original location of discovery in Lampeter Township, Pennsylvania. The first noted tree grew next to farmer William Gibbons’ smokehouse. The skin is thick, flesh crisp and bite delectable. The tree is a reliable bearer and the apple enjoys many uses, making this an excellent selection for the home grower.
