A dual purpose apple with soft creamy white and juicy flesh, these apples give a balance of sweet and slightly acidic refreshment.

The classic rich desert apple that is juicy and firm to bite.  With a distinct and aromatic nutty flavour, they are a little sweet and slightly acidic and the same time.

Bramley
Best served cooked, these apples have a good flavour and are sharply acidic and yet sweet.  They have firm textured flesh and plenty of juice.

Katy
Attractive rich rosy-red apples that have a slight crunch.  Juicy and with pale cream flesh, they have a pleasant flavour of sweetness and a hint of strawberries.
