Well known cooking apple

A superb and well known cooking apple that produces large green fruits. It has been in cultivation for over 200 years and many a house buyer inherits one with their new purchase as it had been widely planted during this period.

The original tree resides in Nottinghamshire. The white, pink blushed, flowers in spring provide a lovely display and like other Malus, this variety is best suited to heavier but well drained soils. The abundant fruit crop can be harvested by autumn and when combined with blackberries makes my favourite fruit pie.

Mature Height: 5-10m
