Description
Raised in Kent in 1966 from a cross betweeen James Grieve and Golden Delicious, this green mid-season dessert apple has the best of both parents – the fruit is crunchy and sweet with a nice tangy bite, and is very hardy and crops heavily even in the north. Bears fruit when young, and a good pollinator of other varieties. Self-fertile
