Cooking Apple Varieties
There are many popular cooking apple varieties. The following are a list of a few varieties.
Duke of Devonshire is a very ,late keeping dessert apple of excellent flavour. Juicy, sweet and aromatic. Compost grown, the apples are never too dry. Rather like a flat Cox, with yellowy skin and brownish flush. Crops well and stores well. Partially self-sterile and highly resistant to scab. Season Feb.-May.
Ed ward VII is a very late flowerer, so useful where there are spring frosts. Compact grower. Easy spur-bearer. Nice round to oblong, dark green apples. Excellent flavour when cooked. Crawley Beauty is the best pollinator. Scab resistant. Season Jan.-April. Egremont Russet makes a small upright heavy cropping hardy tree. Extremely beautiful when in flower, good pollinator for Cox. A lovely flat russet apple. Produces fruit spurs freely. Resistant to scab. Season Oct.-Dec.
Ellison's Orange is a good upright grower. Crops heavily and fairly regularly. Blossoms frost resistant. Apples oblong, dull green streaked with red. Flavour aromatic reminiscent of aniseed. Resistant to scab. Season Sept.-Oct.
Sunset is a delicious seedling from Cox. Considered by some better flavoured. Will grow well in gardens where Cox doesn't succeed. Makes a compact easy-to-manage tree. Very beautiful when it is particularly bleak and beastly, and though they appear to be self-fertile, the flowers seem to find a difficulty in setting during such bad weather. I have seen hundreds of trees die during my career through what seems to me to be a type of bacterial die-back.
D'arcy Spice is a delicious Essex apple of excellent flavour. Roundish, flattened, of a yellow colour covered with brownish russet. Not easy to grow and only a medium cropper. The fruit tree bears fruit very late as well as being sweet, juicy and aromatic. Fairly resistant to scab. Season Mar.-May.
