Dumelow's Seedling
A cooking apple that can also be used for cider.
Said to be Queen Victoria’s favourite apple.
Large, round fruit, pale green that yellows as it ripens with pale orange flush. Yellow flesh that is firm, crisp and very juicy. Rich in flavour, makes a delightful puree. Creamier than Bramley, excellent for baked apples.
Stores really well until April/May.
Raise by farmer Richard Dumelow from Shakerstone, Leicester. Shown at the RHS in 1818. Used as a May Day apple in the north due to its good storage.
