APPLE, SUNSET
Malus domestica Sunset

APPLE, SUNSET (Malus domestica Sunset)
Enlarge Picture Enlarge picture
 

Raised from a seedling of Cox's Orange Pippin about 1918 in Kent. Very heavy regular cropper, superb aromatic flavour, crisp and juicy, golden-yellow with orange-red flush. A smaller apple than Cox but as it is much easier to grow is widely grown as a garden variety. Suitable for colder areas and is more resistant to frost.

Season of Use: Nov-Dec Desert Fruit
