Knotted Kernel Cider Apple

Malus spp. Late Fall. Medium-bittersweet cider apple. Somerset, England. Featured in the London Horticultural Society’s 1842 catalog. Kernel in the name (à la Ashmead’s) suggests this was a chance seedling.

Hardy, small to medium-sized conic and ribbed fruit is waxy yellow and washed with red blush overlaid with darker red stripes. Very long stem in a deep russetted cavity. Cream-colored flesh with streaks of red bleeding from the skin is sweet with soft tannins. (SG 1.059, acidity 0.24%, tannin 0.34%) Suitable for a single varietal cider. Mostly unheard of until it reappeared over a century later in New Zealand in the orchard of a British emigrant. Scions were sent back home to the U.K. and reintroduced by Brentwood Fruit Trees in Buckinghamshire in 2006. Z4. Maine Grown. NEW! (Semi-dwarf: 2½–5' bare-root trees)
