Raised by the East Malling Research Station and released about the same time as Jupiter, but somewhat overshadowed by that variety at the time. For picking from early September to November, the blossoms have good frost tolerance. Good, compact growth and suitable for growing everywhere. The fruits are bright red on a yellow background, and the flesh is crisp and juicy with an excellent texture and flavour. An easy to grow variety. Ideal pollinators are: Fiesta, Redsleeves, Greensleeves, James Grieve etc. jester is proving to be a superb apple for garden culture.







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.
