Description
‘Malus ‘Blenheim Orange’ was first discovered in Woodstock, Oxfordshire growing in Blenheim Park, and exhibited in 1822. This apple is an old favourite as it cooks, eats and stores very well and is considered by many to be the best dual purpose apple. The apples are large, golden flushed and stripped with dull red and fine brown russet. The flesh has a nutty taste and a sweet crumbly texture.
To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same or adjacent flowering group (e.g. Discovery).
