Description
Known as 'The farmer's wife's apple', this smallish, bright green apple was once grown in almost every garden and orchard in Yorkshire. Crops consistently and prolifically with the added bonus of very attractive pinkish-white blossom. A strong grower with a vigorous branching habit.
"'A cooking apple peculiar to the northern parts of Yorkshire, where it is grown in almost every garden and orchard. It is the farmer's wife's apple', says Hogg. And so it is, still found frequently in old orchards in the region, where it crops reliably and prolifically; little grown elsewhere. In the collection at the Walled Garden at Helmsley." © Lin Hawthorne - 'The Northern Pomona'.
