‘Arthur Turner’

-

Introduced 101 years ago, this is a mid-season cooking apple with distinctiv­e yellowish skin and flesh that purees beautifull­y when cooked. The flowers are delightful too – the trees are covered in deep pink blossom in spring, making quite a show. Pick fruit in late September and early October; it will store until November. Yields are good and cropping is regular. These large, colourful cookers make an attractive alternativ­e to the ubiquitous ‘Bramley’s Seedling’.
