A very early dessert apple best eaten off the tree from late July. Very good flavour, sweet and juicy. Surface almost all covered deep or brick red developing a greasy feel. Medium sized apples round conical with some broad ribbing that converges into a ‘crown’ at the apex.
To enjoy its flavour the best pick while still on the tree and the apples are not too deep red. Apples that have fallen can be soft and unappealing.

A well known culinary apple that is hardy and suitable for growing in most parts of the UK. Apples can be large and flat round in shape. Though sharp in taste they are also pleasant to eat. When cooked apples break down to a puree with a milder flavour than Bramley. Rootstock: MM106 & M26

Bramley
£17.00Availability: In stockOut of stock
The most well known of culinary apples that first arose just over 200 years ago from a seedling. The original tree is still growing in Southwell, Nottinghamshire! Also known as Bramley’s Seedling having arisen as a seedling of unknown origin between 1809 & 1813. Bramley is THE English cooking apple, and has become renowned world wide. Though there are many high quality culinary apples, of which we grow a number, they can sometimes be forgotten. Its sharpness, strong flavour and high acidity together with its excellent storage qualities make it deservedly our most popular cooking apple.

A very useful dual purpose apple that often thrives in less than ideal conditions. Quite large round conical red flushed apples that are often lop sided with obvious unequal ribbing which can make for odd shaped fruit. Do not let this put you off because early on when sharp the apples can be cooked, later on becoming sweeter and enjoyable as a dessert. (1851, Scotland)
