Annie Elizabeth
A late season cooking apple.
Large and sweet, keeps its shape when cooked, needing very little sugar. Round-oblong, rather irregular fruit. Orange-red flushed with crimson-red stripes.
Keeps until March. An excellent cropper that copes well in windy weather holding on to its fruit. Good resistance to scab, canker and mildew.
Introduced by Samuel Greatorex of Knighton, Leicester, in 1857, and named after his daughter. Once commonly grown in ornamental orchards due to its stunning deep ink to maroon blossom.
