Hello all. I am used with chimeric mutations forward and backward on red del, gala strains... but never saw one for golden. Never heard about red mutants from Golden, it drives my opinion to this being a fake, but I would be pleased if this mutant would be from real life, and would be pleased to have related information on this topic from members too. In case it is a chimeric mutant (the cells with the mutation are not in the core of the meristem, but in a second ring of cells) then possibly the shoot at the base of the fruit will give some buds with totally red apples and totally yellow ones. Chance to get one more apple with half red color are very poor... imha.
