Discovery - one of the earliest apple trees to fruit

A good choice if you like your apples on the crisp and tasty, slightly acidic side. 

Discovery has the huge advantage of producing apples very early in the season. This means you can begin eating these apples in August. Commercial growers in the UK rely almost entirely on the apple variety Discovery to start the UK apple season.

Easy to maintain, and good resistance to disease. One of the great British apples. Originated in Essex, UK in 1949. Once picked it doesn't keep for long, maybe a week at the most. It is a great apple for making apple juice.
