Description
Vintage 19th century cider variety from the village of Kingston near Taunton where it is locally known as Black Taunton. Small dark maroon-flushed apples produce a superb full bodied cider. Kingston Black has somewhat legendary status amongst cider makers. Its bittersharp juice is of the highest quality, with well balanced tannin and acidity contributing to a full-bodied, distinctive single variety cider. However, it is not the easiest tree to grow; cropping can be shy and it can be prone to scab and canker in the wetter parts of the country.For help with choosing the correct rootstock for your needs, please click here A Guide to Rootstocks
