Owner's comments
Was once part of an orchard of maybe a dozen different trees all planted probably in 1930s, only one apple tree left. We submitted three apples to RHS Brogdake National Collection in Oct 2017 and have just been informed that it is a King of the Pippins.Season records for this tree

Spring blossom: 4 May
Size: 6.0m / 20.0ft high 6.0m / 20.0ft wide
An especially good season - most apples grew to full size (which is never very big) before falling off. Some were particularly big for this tree at 2.5 inches diameter.
