Description

This red sport of Gravenstein appeared in Scandinavia in about 1960. Beloved by Stuart Murfitt, ex ‘Keeper of the Apples’ at Ampleforth College orchards in North Yorkshire, this is an excellent, early, sweet eater that is marbled crimson over gold in appearance, and with flesh that melts in the mouth, and gives a hint of peach in the aroma of the fruit. Not to be overlooked in any orchard.
