Kingston Black is renowned for making a great-tasting single-variety cider (most ciders are made with blends of varieties).It can also be used as a base or in blends.Classed as a full-bodied "bittersharp" in the standard classification of cider apples, it is high in both tannin and acid.Small, conical fruit, flushed deep maroon, keeps well.The tree is moderately vigorous, spreading and somewhat prone to blackspot disease (this is not usually a problem, but avoid planting in areas with very heavy blackspot pressure).
