Yellow Transparent is listed as a Russian-origin apple and is recorded as a USDA introduction in 1870 [S1]. It is classed as a standard-size apple (ST, about 5 cm or more across), with pale yellow fruit and very early maturity, earlier than Lodi [S1].
The source describes the fruit as lacking flavor, soft, and prone to bruising. It also says the apples should be used before fully ripe and do not keep more than about two weeks, which is why it is described as useful for cooking, and good for juice and mixing, but poor for dessert use [S1].
An acited note says the cultivar is subject to sunscald and is best grown grafted into a hardy frame tree [S1]. The entry also notes wide distribution through Sears, Eaton's, and several nursery companies, with WCSH cited as a referenced source line [S1].
