Bloody Ploughman
£17.00
An interesting apple that is conical in shape with distinct ribbing. Its blood red skin is a little tough, beneath it the sweet tasting flesh is heavily pink tinged.
Name also has a story behind it – apparently a ploughman was caught by a gamekeeper stealing apples on a Scottish estate and shot. His wife had the apples but threw them on a rubbish tip and one of the apples pips arose to be this variety! (central Scotland, 1883)

A relatively modern variety that has become important commercially with various clones. Apples are large sweet with a nice rich flavour. A triploid variety so though accepting pollen from other varieties will not provide any. A strong grower so offered on two dwarfing rootstocks! The picture was taken late August – the apples will flush more orange-red. Rootstock: M26
