Bramley 20, Christmas Pippin, Scrumptious (Family)

Full Description

All these varieties cross pollinate each other

Bramley 20 – Cooking. A compact version of Bramley’s Seedling, 20% less vigorous with heavier crops. It can be used on several rootstocks, allowing Bramley apples to be grown in any size space. An exceptional sharp flavour and produces a delicious puree when cooked. Fruits are a pale green flushed red or orange. Pure white, cup-shaped blossom arrives in late spring. Highly recommended cooking variety for the smaller garden!

Christmas Pippin – Eating. An exceptionally high quality eating experience. We would happily say this is the ‘new garden Cox’ but unlike this classic vintage variety, Christmas Pippin flowers and crops heavily. Delicious honey-flavoured fruit with creamy flesh, sweet and high in sugar content. Thin, orange flushed skin, juicy and crisp texture. A suitable garden variety for beginners as it’s easy to grow. The apples store well until Christmas, so perfect for the Christmas Day apple pie or crumble!

Scrumptious – Eating. Self fertile, tasty and easy to grow. A mid season variety suitable for planting in all areas of the UK. It is also frost hardy when in flower, thin skinned for children and can be eaten straight from the tree at any time during September. The fruit will naturally stay on the tree without falling. When tasted by apple lovers, descriptions include: fragrant and honeyed, liquorice and wine, a bunch of cherries, fresh, aromatic, soft and delicate, crisp and sweet.
