Description
- A very versatile dual purpose apple, used mainly for cooking but also good to eat fresh
- Mostly green with a red blush that develops when they’re ripe for picking
- Suitable to train on wires and as cordons or espaliers
- First bred in the 1960s from Cox’s Orange Pippin and Lane’s Prince Albert
- Sharp and juicy when eaten fresh, holds shape well when cooked
- Naturally compact form makes it ideal for growing in the average garden
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
