  Definitely good eater if left late season (mid October) but really of no distinct character so we use for apple juice base (75/25 Bountiful /Cox type).. Fantastic cropper... maybe 500 + last year but despite shaking many off for the first year it's having a rest... none for 2016 which us fine by us. Will give this handsome tree a feed this winter... up to now have just buried the odd dead rat under it ;)

  2011. Small crop of around 40 apples, mostly with bitter pip. The tree appears to be becoming biennial. Also there have been quite a few flowers on the tree in mid September.

  A reliable, regular, heavy cropper. Seems to spread out the opening of blossoms for a slightly longer flowering period than most apples, which probably improves the chance of pollination and probably reduces the amount of blossom open at any given time, which may reduce the damage from a late frost. Not much trouble with pests or diseases, apart from some Capsid bug attacks. Fortunately, the capsid bug nibblings on the fruit are only on the skin and usually heal, so the fruits develop fairly normally although may be russeted and bumpy in places, where the capsid damage has healed-over. Unfortunately, being a dual-purpose fruit, it is only average for flavour; a bit too acid for an ideal eater and a bit too mild for an ideal cooker. But all-in-all, a very useful variety.

  Very Bountiful uniform shape good for cooking.

  We have a 7 year old bountiful growing in our garden. This year it produced roughly 200 good sized apples, very disease free with a good shape. They are particularly nice as baked apples, cored, filled with currents, and a knob of butter and a spoon of honey and microwaved for three minutes.

  I fully agree with your notes on this apple. I have one growing in a half-barrel on my patio.It produced 10 large apples the first year after planting,and 25 this year.Your taste notes are correct...picked in September the flesh is very firm, and certainly sweet enough to eat, and also cooks very well.
