Saint Edmunds Russet AppleThe variety is developed by R. Harvey in Bury St. Edmunds, England. Registered in 1875. It received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1875. Also known as Saint Edmunds Pippin and Early Golden Russet.The tree has an upright, spreading growth and is quite fruitfull and partially self-pollinating. Good resistance to scab, cancer and mildew. The apple is small to medium-sized, flat round. The color is yellow to light brown with orange glow on the sunny side. Saint Edmunds Pippin is a typical English russet apple. It is very similar to the more famous Egremont Russet but juicier and more aromatic. The meat is moderately firm, juicy, slightly acidic with a good aroma. The apple ripens earlier than Egremont Russet, in late September. The shelf life is short. The apple is a good eating apple, and like so many russet apples good for juice and cider. |
