TYDEMAN’S EARLY

Planted in the orchard in 1994 this dessert apple was raised at East Malling Research Station in Kent in 1929 by H. M. Tydeman and is a cross between a Worcester Pearmain and a McIntosh.  It was introduced in 1945 but not named until 1963. 

It is a medium-sized apple, round conical in shape, with a deep crimson blush on a pale, yellow-green background and light lenticel dots. The flesh is white and juicy with a light strawberry flavour.  As its name suggests it ripens in late August to early September.
