Chiver's Delight Bush

A late dessert apple raised by Mr. Chivers of Cambridgeshire in about 1920.  Parentage is unknown but likely to be Cox Orange Pippin.  The fruits are sweet and aromatic with a nice tang.  The flesh is fine-textured and juicy and has a feint aroma.  A hardy variety that fairs well in colder regions of the country.
