This apple crops reasonably for me despite being in conditions it wasn't bred for. Opinions I've read on the apple vary greatly. From my experience I'd say the negative opinions are from people who have had an overripe apple, which is floury, with not much flavour. It is nicely flavoured when just ripe. This is a very early apple, mine are over by midsummer, which means its easy to let them go too long if your not expecting it. They don't keep at all. The apple is quite small, ideal lunch-box size and an attractive yellow with a pink flush.
