An early season variety producing very large round conical apples Rev W Wilks develops a pale green yellow skin with some pinky red flush making it a quite distinct apple. Good disease resistance and suitable for growing throughout the UK. Apples are sub acid cooking to a pale yellow froth and requiring little or no sugar. Though its season is late August to early September pick earlier for a sharper apple.
Cropping can be heavy bringing down branches. To avoid this thin after the ‘June drop’ to lighten the load and achieve a more evenly graded crop of large apples. Though offered on just moderate vigour MM106 rootstock it is not a strong grower and makes a smallish tree.

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)

Exactly the same a Bramley but with up to 30% less vigour with the same productivity! This is an advantage where space is more limited. A triploid variety, same as Bramley. Producing the same large flat round green apples that redden on the sun exposed side. Rootstock: MM106, M26.

A heavy cropping early culinary apple. Pale green skin that becomes pale yellow has a greasy feel. The large round conical apples are distinctly ribbed with prominent lenticels. Softish yellowish white flesh cooks to a froth. Rootstock MM106

Conical in shape with pronounced angular ribs, bright green in colour. Sub acid greenish white flesh of good flavour when cooked. Cook early for a sharp taste. Seems to grow well in all parts of the UK. A good early alternative to Bramley that fruits really well. Rootstock: MM106 & M26
