Apple Varieties grown at Cavell Orchards

February’s Featured AppleAshmead’s Kernel

This apple was raised in Gloucester by Dr Ashmead in about 1700.

It is known as one of the finest flavoured dessert apples, described as having a green-yellow skin with a brown flush and covered with russet and indistinctly ribbed at the eye and on the body. It has a strong sweet-sharp flavour reminiscent of apple drops.

This tree’s apples are picked late after having been left to ripen on the tree as long as possible and  I generally pick in November or even in December.

These apples will then keep through to at least February and are my choice to go with Cropwell Bishop Stilton cheese.
