Received the email yesterday saying the plants had been despatched, arrived late morning today. All good, strong, healthy plants that were very well packaged and I'm sure they will romp away once planted. Customer service was excellent as well and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you to my fellow gardeners.

This russet variety originates from Sussex (so we believe) in around 1872 and has been popular since Victorian times (and continues to be).
The fruit is large, sweet, crisp and firm with a distinct nutty flavour with a golden russetted skin with red flushes and makes lovely apple juice or eating with cheese!
A high yielding tree that will tolerate cooler and damper climates (so perfect if you live further North in the country)
- Grown on MM106 rootstock for an ultimate (unpruned) height of 12-15ft (3.65-4.6m) but can easily be kept at a height of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m).
- Dessert / eating apple.
- Self Fertile - but pollination by another apple will maximise yield.
- Is a great pollinator for other apples.
- Season of use October to December.
