Variably sized fruit, round to conical, with a rather irregular shape, pale yellow with a large area of crimson blush and a few flecks of russet. The flesh is white, soft and very juicy, with a good flavour on a favourable site. The tree tolerates thin, poor soil and coastal conditions but really needs a good, sunny site for maximum flavour, and to minimise its susceptibility to scab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Irish Heritage Apple variety was originally saved and propagated by Irish Seed Savers in Scarriff, County Clare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eSome shelter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil: \u003c\/b\u003eAny reasonably well drained\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eCrops best in full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick: \u003c\/b\u003eEarly August\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep: \u003c\/b\u003eLate August–early September\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eHardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollination: \u003c\/b\u003ePollination Group 2 (pollinates with Groups 1, 2 and 3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUses:\u003c\/b\u003e Eating apple; juicing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp title=\"Fruit tree rootstocks\"\u003eLearn more about fruit tree rootstocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the bareroot season, our apples are pre pruned before being dispatched by mail order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Bareroot \/ MM106 \/ 1yr","offer_id":48736467616001,"sku":"ZNV0D 412394356770","price":12.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/1540\/4801\/files\/widows_friend01.jpg?v=1777966200","url":"https:\/\/futureforests-us.com\/products\/apple-widows-friend","provider":"Future-Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
