Features a distinctive dark red, ribbed skin and beautiful pink-stained flesh.
Offers a mild, sweet, and juicy flavour, perfect for eating fresh, juicing, or baking.
A vigorous grower that thrives in colder climates, producing fruit from mid-September to October.
Apples store well for a couple of months, and the tree is renowned for its robust disease resistance.
Supplied in an EcoPot, using 70% less plastic, which is fully recyclable and reduces root spiralling.
