Scarlet Crofton*
This erstwhile Irish Gaelic apple tree has a marvelous painterly look, alongside Celtic knots of russet, lenticels, in addition to sooty blotch dancing across the red-blushed peel.
I got 7 heritage apples to endeavour at Cider Days on Nov 4, in addition to this is the gnarliest.
These Scarlet Croftons are modest oblate fruits alongside a footling give. They bring likely been off the tree since September. Crofton's unblushed pare is a low-cal yellow.
Whenever harvested, Crofton's texture inwards early on Nov is good—yielding in addition to a fleck tender, simply crisp. The flesh is medium-grained in addition to snowy white.
Crofton is a sweetness apple, alongside frail flavors that are faintly floral in addition to that hint at berries. The pare leaves an aftertaste suggesting green beans, in addition to at that topographic point is a really mild describe of vanilla mid-chew.
Haricots verts aside, these are conventional flavors, though pleasing ones.
The National Fruit Collection (UK) tells us that the Crofton traveled from England to Republic of Ireland ca. 1600, in addition to therefore returned to England inwards the early on 19th Century.
Scarlet Crofton has triangular pips that are large for such a modest apple.
