A well known cooking variety producing colossal green fruits with a sharp flavour and crisp, white flesh. Apple ‘Reverend W. Wilks’ cooks down to a soft, sweet puree, not quite as sharp as the well known variety ‘Bramley’. This is also an excellent choice for baking whole. The fruits ripen from late august making them perfectly timed for apple and blackberry pies – just as well, as they won’t store for long. This is an excellent, disease resistant variety with a compact habit that is ideal for gardens and orchards alike.
