A
traditional apple with nutty taste. The flowers are produced early in the
season, so you may not be able to rely on your neighbour's trees to
pollinate it. The
best of the russet apples, although it is liable to diseases such as bitter
pit, mildew and scab. Best avoided by those who want an easy-care tree.
