Apple Rawley’s Seedling

An Irish heritage variety of early dessert apple, Apple Rawley’s Seedling is believed to have been planted by a Mrs Rawley at her Co Cork farm in the early 20th century.  Small to medium-sized greenish-yellow fruit with an orange blush and a little russeting, excellent Cox-like flavour when eaten fresh from the tree. Much hardier than Cox’s Orange Pippin, but needs a sunny, favourable site to crop well and for best flavour. Moderately vigorous tree, spur-bearer. Susceptible to scab.

Position: Crops best in full sun
