English Apples - Laxton's Fortune
One of the best flavoured English apples, so long as it's eaten straight from the tree. It will keep for a day
or two, but much longer and it starts to taste medicinal and loses its wonderful texture and juiciness. Trees
slightly biennial, but have a reasonable crop even in the "off" year. Fruits from early to late Sept.
