Malus domestica - An old Somerset cider apple, found in an orchard in Long Ashton in the early 1900s. It is a high quality late-season cider apple, producing excellent vintage quality cider - soft tannins and full bodied medium bittersweet juice. Slow to come in to full cropping, but produces regularly once it does and has good disease resistance. Priced for a 2 year bush on MM106 rootstock (semi-vigorous)
Use: A bittersweet apple used mainly for cider-making
