English Apples - George's Red


Similar to Red Devil in appearance but pre-dating it by about 100 years. Original tree located by George Humphrey, Roundbush, Essex, where it is growing on an ancient parish boundary. The tree has been propogated. Cortex wood is pink, leaves have a strong bronze-reddish tint, unlike Red Devil which is predominantly green. It may be an ancient valued variety, but the name is lost; I have therefore given it the name "George's Red", after the person who sent it to me.
