This variety was raised by Mr Dunkerton in Somerset 1940. The apples have a light, sweet and fruity flavour which makes a fantastic cider. The skin is green and has a faint red flush when ripe. The tree has an open, spreading habit and its leaves are a steady green colour. This tree also features the typical 'apple blossom' flowers that are white and appear in spring.
