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.

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 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.
