"A Cumbrian apple, from Thursby near Carlisle, known since before 1800; a vigorous, heavy cropping tree, and valued as a mid-season dessert apple for difficult sites in high, wet and cold regions. A rounded, medium-sized fruit, with yellow-green flesh, flushed red, and striped and mottled crimson-red. The soft, juicy creamy white flesh has a rich, sweet-savoury flavour, 'one of the best apples I've ever tasted' says one of John Butterworth's customers." © Lin Hawthorne - 'The Northern Pomona'.
