Introduced due to popular request but of variable flavour in the U.K. At its best it is sweet, juicy and refreshing. A highly coloured apple, the bright red flushes and stripes almost obliterate the soft yellow base colour. The pure white flesh is quite crisp for a red apple. Raised in the U.S.A. Introduced here in the mid 1800’s. It is popular in America for pies and other culinary purposes because it is sweet and keeps its shape when cooked. The tree tends to have a drooping habit and is a heavy cropper. Harvest in early October and use from November until March. Pollinate with Redsleeves, Greensleeves, James Grieve, Red Windsor, Red Devil etc.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
