Very good early eater – crisp juicy and sweet. One of the earliest dessert apples picked from mid August. Almost all covered bright crimson. The flesh can also be tinged pink around the edges. Consume quickly after picking as the apples will not keep. Disease- resistant and suitable for colder areas. A partial tip-bearer but grows well as an espalier.

Late medium / large conical apple of excellent taste. Of a distinct shape with the apple tapering sharply to a narrow apex. Skin brownish orange with patches of bright red. Usually has quite distinct ribbing with one larger rib than others making the apple sometimes appear lop sided.

Pitmaston Pineapple
£19.50Availability: In stockOut of stock
A quite different and distinctive apple. Small golden yellow apples, oblong conical in shape covered with a fine russet. Sweet yet sharp. Honeyed flavour and nicely scented, but any pineapple flavour is difficult to distinguish. A neglected variety because of the apples small size, but this is a feature in itself. A variety well worth growing. A fruiting tree in the autumn is an impressive sight with the golden apples contrasting with the yet to fall leaves.

A very well known variety. The medium-large apples are warmly coloured yellow striped with orange. Excellent flavour, sweet with an acid balance. If picked early when sharp they make very good culinary apples. Round conical in shape they will not keep for a long time. Hardy and a good pollinator. Rootstock: MM106 & M26.
