Winston
£17.50
A late apple with green yellow skin flushed red. Good resistance to disease. Excellent keeper. Partly self-fertile. Reliable & heavy cropper. Thin the fruits in the summer to have larger fruits. Because of its lateness of ripening and its long storage life it was introduced as Winter King in 1935 but was patriotically renamed Winston in 1944! A good variety to have to extend the harvesting time.
The smaller picture shows Winston flushed deeper red by mid November. It can remain on the tree until well after leaf fall.

Bloody Ploughman
£17.50Availability: 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)
