Browns Size:M25 Possibly nineteenth century if notA early sharp cider apple. Clean, fresh tasting sharp, bred at Hill's Nursery in Devon around 1895. All round great variety, good for cider, cooking or juice. Dark red fruit, very beautiful on the tree. Traditionally bred in many Devon orchards. Due to its resistance to scab and its early maturation it was also popular in Somerset. Permission to use photograph by Kevin Garrod (Monnow Valley Cider) is gratefully acknowledged.
