Malus domestica 'Scrumptious' is something very special. Named for its wonderful complexity of flavours and because it has been carefully bred and selected, specifically for our garden conditions. It is a mid season variety, suitable for planting in all areas of the UK. It is self fertile, frost hardy when in flower, thin skinned for children and can be eaten straight from the tree without falling.
When tasted by apple lovers, descriptions include ''fragrant and honeyed, liquorice and wine, a bunch of cherries, fresh, aromatic, soft and delicate, crisp and sweet... the tree habit is neat, flowers freely on one-year wood, making it suitable for all forms of tree chosen. Although this tree is self fertile, it can also be used to cross pollinate other apple trees in the same flowering group (e.g. Crispin).
