Apple ‘Keswick Codlin’

An early variety that can be picked in mid-August, long before many other apples. Apple ‘Keswick Codlin’ produces heavy crops of pale, green-yellow fruits that can be eaten fresh or cooked to a sweet puree – perfect for jellies and crumbles. The flavour is juicy and somewhat sharp making a good choice for salads or as a cheese accompaniment, when freshly picked. This is an old variety, popular with the Victorians, but still a worthwhile choice for modern gardens and orchards. Fruits can be stored until October.

• Apple rootstocks:
• M27 – Extreme dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 1.5m (5′)
• M9/ Pajam 9/ P9 – Dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2.5m (8′)

• M6 – Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 3m (10′)

This variety is partially self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator. Pollination Group 2 – Cooking and Eating Apple
