The comprehensive resource for apples and orchards

Tydeman's Late Orange apple

A popular Cox-style apple, with a later season and sharper flavour.

Tydeman's Late Orange photo tape
When you have eaten all those other varieties you will still have a treat in store because this apple will keep right through to April. In December it is intensely rich and aromatic and quite sharp. It mellows later and sweetens and loses some of its scented quality but is still very good.

Went to Jack Feil's orchard October 15, '11 and got some TLO. Wow, good size and wonderful flavor. Big enough to feed two out of hand. A definite choice for grafting onto one of my trees out back. Favor is brighter than King David, and every bit as complex.

Jack, I visited your fruit stand in October where I tasted my first Lady, Golden Russet, Karmijn de Sonnaville and a few others. Great stuff. When did TLO ripen this year? I want to find your stand again next year and try it.

size large,no russet, color is red, taste very good with a sweet/ tart balance, somewhat shy bi-annual bearing. Our location has hot summertime temperatures, is arid with a cool fall with spells of rain.

Tydeman's Late Orange is one of my best performers (Cambs, UK) - growing and fruiting well, without much attention. In this area, T.L.O. has better resistance to mildew than its late-keeping relative "Winston" and has slightly better resistance to scab damage to the fruits in my environment. T.L.O. has less leaf scab resistance and less canker resistance than Winston, so perhaps not so well suited as Winston in higher rainfall areas. T.L.O. also has a bit less pest resistance than Winston (has thinner skin than Winston; easier for pests to break the skin), but, like Winston, T.L.O. is very fertile so some losses to pests can be tolerated: the pests naturally "thin" the crop for you and the remaining apples reach a better size. Vigour is considerably greater than Winston and T.L.O produces quite long, slender branches that get thrown around by the wind. The fruit spurs of T.L.O are also quite brittle and are prone to breaking off under stress or in windy conditions. I consider the flavour of T.L.O. to be superior to Winston.

Hi, I tasted this apple today and loved it!! I was wondering if it is a baking apple or if just an eating fresh apple? I agree with what you say about it.
