About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old Scottish cultivar and a reliable early autumn apple that is ready to eat from the end of August. Because it supplies pollen well and abundantly, it is a valued pollinator for many other cultivars; it just barely stores at all and wants to be eaten or processed quickly. The fruits bruise easily and do not ripen all at the same time.
Juicy and refreshingly tart with soft, loose flesh. Best straight from the tree; it also makes an aromatic juice and a fine apple sauce.
