Usually ready for picking in mid September, and can be stored well into the new year. Generally regarded as the finest flavoured of all English apples, this variety needs good soil conditions to crop well. Not recommended for very cold or very wet areas. The trees are vigorous, with good, angle branches. Fairly upright and then spreading habit. The fruits are medium sized, round to conical, golden yellow with up to three quarter flush with orange, red streaks and some russetting. The flesh is firm, creamy yellow, crisp and juicy. The flavour is superb, rich and very aromatic. Susceptible to Scab and Mildew, so spraying is required.Good pollinators include: Discovery Egremont Russett and Redsleeves but Greensleeves and James Grieve have proved exceptional.







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.
