Description
First recorded in 1896, this is a late high-quality dessert apple from Worcestershire. The flavour is rich and distinctive, the fruit a very elegant conical shape, pale yellow with orange flushing and red speckles. Cropping is heavy and the fruit keep well.
"A seedling from the Worcester estate of Lord Hindlip, introduced by the Watkins nurseries of Hereford in 1896. Lord Hindlip has beautifully coloured skin and a fine physique, broad shoulders tapering to a narrow base, with juicy flesh and a refreshing, tangy, aromatic flavour. It is an excellent keeper, best left as long as possible on the tree; it will probably peak between December and January as a dessert apple. Probably more often seen in estate orchards in the north, and used for cooking as well, for with a low acidity and high dry matter, Lord Hindlip keeps its shape when cooked and is very decorative on top of open tarts." © Lin Hawthorne - 'The Northern Pomona'.
