Description
Although was not recorded until 1883, this old culinary variety is thought to date from the 1700s. The medium-large fruit are flat, with a greenish-yellow skin. The crisp white flesh cooks to an intensely flavoured puree. Very hardy, moderately vigorous and produces fruiting spurs in abundance. Highly recommended for cold or exposed sites, an excellent early season cooking apple.
"A little-known culinary apple, with flat, medium to large, green-yellow fruit. The sharp, well flavoured flesh cooks to a cream-coloured purée. Thought to have arisen beside the Moray Firth in north-east Scotland, and a northern Scottish favourite when it was first exhibited in 1883. The picking date is given as August, and the literature suggests it is used at once." © Lin Hawthorne - 'The Northern Pomona'.
