A late eating apple that tastes of honey and pineapple. Small conical fruit yellow/green with some russet. Crisp and juicy. Very pretty blossom. Fully ripe early November and keeps into the new year. Strong, hardy, reliable cropper that bears well. According to Hogg in 1884, 'a dessert apple of great excellence'. Raised by Mr Williams of Pitmaston, Worcs, around 1825, although possibly originally raised by a steward to Lord Foley of Stoke Edith, Herefordshire in 1785. Thought to have come from the seed of a Golden Pippin. Permission to use photograph by Philip James (Dinefwr Heritage Orchard) is gratefully acknowledged. Show more
