A variety from Kent that does very well in Cornwall. The first pickings are in Late August / early September as a cooking apple. However, if left on the tree until October the sugar levels are high enough for it to morph into an eating apple of huge proportion. It can then be sliced thinly and dried in a dehydrator or juiced to produce a fine apple juice. While the pulp can make excellent fruit leather. Early harvests don’t keep, however, the longevity of the October harvest fairs much better. Be warned pick some early on as a tree in full fruit can snap off at the base in the wind
