Also produces good sized crops of large pink-hued fruit to be harvested from September onwards. The flesh has a sweet flavour with a lemon-like scent, making it a superb dessert apple to be eaten straight from the tree or juiced immediately. When cooking, there?s no need to add sugar due to its highly sweet taste. This variety is not self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator.
