A very old variety raised by the famous Rivers Nursery in 1893. Similar to Irish Peach but, experts believe, with an even finer flavour, indeed caught at the right time there is a distinct peach-like character, and always a very sweet and juicy apple, The season is very early, first half of August & best eaten straight from the tree. Pollinate with Egremont, Lord Lambourne, Idared, Violette etc.
