Malus 'Egremont Russet' is moderately vigorous variety which has an open, spreading habit. It produces firm dessert apples with a crisp, nutty yet sweet flavour; the fruits are ready for harvesting in late September. The skin of the apple has large patches of russeting, giving it an interesting ‘rough’ feel. This is the usual russet variety found in supermarkets and greengrocers.
To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same or adjacent flowering group (e.g. Beauty of Bath).
