Fruit ripening time: March - April
An excellent sweet flavour, beautifully crisp and very juicy, with complex flavours reminiscent of the Cox’s Orange Pippin.
Freyberg is a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Cox’s Orange Pippin, and the flavour combination is very memorable! A refreshing, honey-sweet flavour, with hints of cinnamon and aniseed.
Small to medium sized fruit. The skin is green, ripening to a golden yellow with only a hint of blush on the sunny side. The flesh is cream coloured.
Uses: Superb when eaten fresh. Also great when used in salads, for apple sauce and in pies. Stores well in the refrigerator.
