Planted in the early 2000s this variety was discovered in an orchard in Upper Wolvercote near St Peter’s Church which was planted by the grandfather of a Joy Midwinter in 1911. Historically this variety could have originated in 1779 but has had some confusion over its name and it could be the same as the Somerset Stone Pippin or even the John Apple. A medium to large conical apple with pea-green skin becoming golden, streaked with red as it matures. It is a superb culinary apple that can be eaten as a dessert apple as it becomes fully ripe. It has quite dense and crisp flesh and a very juicy and fragrant flavour. Ripe in October and in the right conditions can keep till the spring. Being near the front wall this tree suffered damage in its early stage when the Trout Poplar was being pruned but it has gradually recovered.
