Thought to be a seedling of either Cox or Sunset. The name is deceptive because it process good medium sized flat round apples that keep a long time. Excellent taste, sweet but refreshing, crisp and juicy. Skin yellow flushed with orange red. A good choice for the garden or small orchard. Rootstock: MM106, M26.

Bloody Ploughman
£17.00Availability: In stockOut of stock
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)

Cox Self Fertile
£17.00Availability: In stockOut of stock
The same as Cox but benefits from being self fertile, though will crop even better if there are other apple varieties in the vicinity. Can crop better than its parent, Cox’s Orange Pippin, when pollination conditions are less favourable. (Bristol, 1975)

Pitmaston Pineapple
£17.00Availability: 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.
