Fruit ripening time: May – June
 
A beautifully sweet, juicy, and crisp apple. Our favourite late season apple, with a honey-sweet flavour and low acidity.
 
Fruit are medium to large in size. The skin base colour is yellow, with a deep carmine red wash covering the apple. Some patchy russeting. The flesh is yellow, firm, and crisp, with a fine-grained texture. 
 
A tree with medium vigour. Will bear heavy crops every year once it reaches fruit bearing age. 
 
A very useful variety to extend the apple season as it ripens late and will store very well, up to 3 months when refrigerated, however it does bruise easily, despite a thick skin. 
 
Uses: An excellent eating apple. Good for juice. 
 
Tree Size: 
Dwarf: Can be kept to 1.5 m and grown in containers. Must be staked or grown on a trellis.
 
Semi-dwarf: 3 - 5 m tall, depending on shape
