Brith Mawr
A multipurpose Welsh apple that can be used for cider and cooking, also a good eater.
The name translates to 'large and speckled' and is a beautiful looking apple, yellow green with red fleck and dappled red blush.
Has a sharp taste and makes a wonderful puree.
Exhibited by John Basham of Fairoak Nurseries, Bassaleg, at the RHS Apples and Pears Conference in 1934, it subsequently disappeared from record. Rediscovered growing in a garden near Cardiff a few years ago and identified by the last manager of Fairoak Nurseries before his death.
