Owner's comments
I am not completely sure this tree is a (Laxton's) Epicure, as I inherited it as a mature tree when I bought the plot (an old orchard). The tree was already mature and has a completely hollow trunk. From your website and the book Apples by Rosie Sanders, I have identified it as a (Laxton's) Epicure.Season records for this tree
