This obscure dessert apple has many good qualities. the apples have a dark red almost purple skin colour. The flesh is yellowish white, sweet & firm. A good keeper storing until February or March in suitable conditions. Spurs freely and quickly into fruiting.
Little is recorded anywhere about this variety, which first came to light in a 1945 County fruit trial but it is a local variety well worth growing.
