English Apples - Dr. Kidd's Orange Red

Actually a New Zealand apple. Similar flavour to Cox and does well in colder sreas. Heavy and regular cropper, and even the windfalls will keep. Will not cross pollinate with Cox. A Cox seedling, raised by Dr. Kidd, Auckland, N.Z. in 1924.

Some detect a hint of parma violets in the flavour - (see West Virginia Sweet where this trait is stronger). Aromatic becoming somewhat scented as it ages.
