Tydeman's Early Worcester apple
A sweet early-season English apple, grown commercially on a small scale. Has a good flavour and somewhat under-rated.
An interesting cross between McIntosh and Worcester Pearmain, two varieties which in some ways were made for each other. The result is an early-season apple which mostly takes after Worcester Pearmain but gets some useful extra sweetness and juiciness from McIntosh.
