Description

Introduced mid 19th C from Woolston, Wincanton in Somerset, Fillbarrel makes a mild bittersweet cider, full bodied and with good astringency. It carries attractive fruit that matures mid to late October and crops can be heavy, though Fillbarrel often becomes biennial in its bearing. As an early flowering variety it is best planted in a frost-free spot. Very resistant to scab.
