English Apples - Annie Elizabeth
Raised 1857 by Samuel Greatorex, magistrates clerk, Avenue Rd, Leicester.
Named to commemmorate his illegitimate baby daughter who died 1866. Introduced by
Harrisons a few years later.
Very firm, late cooking apple which keeps well. Tree is very upright in
habit. Blossom unusually pretty.
Thought to be a Blemheim Orange seedling. G.D. adds: Large golden
apple, with red sunny side. Crisp and cooks superbly. Can keep until June-July.
The best keeper of all.
