Description
West country variety raised in Dorset or Devon in the 1700s. Dual purpose – can be used for cooking, cider or for adding sharpness to cider blends. It is also liked by some as a small eating apple. Bright red flush with stripes; flesh firm, quite sharp, but sweet when cooked. Vigorous, spreading growth producing spurs freely. Good, regular cropper. Very disease resistant. The blossom attracts bees, and later any fallen fruit is eagerly consumed by thrushes and other similar birds. Bullfinches are, unfortunately, partial to the buds.
