I have grown this apple tree for about seven years, and while it took about five years to get my first crop, it was worth the wait. (I have Esopus Spitzenburg as a pollinator, and just added Cornish Gilliflower, because sometimes the Spitzenburg blooms just miss the open blooms of the Ashmead's Kernal.) The apples are green with russeting, rather small, and quite round. Eaten right off the tree they don't show their true potential, but after being stored indoors in a cool place for a couple of weeks, these have the most amazing flavor. They are crisp, rich, sweet and tart at the same time - a perfect eating apple. Since it is a tip bearer, some sites say it is not suitable for use as an espalier. It is one of the oldest English apple varieties grown.
