We hope you're hungry! Jumbo produces HUGE dual purpose cooking and eating apples. They cook fantastically with a sweet flavour without needing to add sugar and when you stew them, they cook to a tenderness, retaining their shape. The flavour is ‘fruity’ and the apples themselves are green apple with lovely, crimson and rosy colour on top.
If you enjoy a large fruity snack, or you want to share, you can also enjoy Jumbo apples as a dessert apple later on in season. They store well into early March with virtually no loss of flavour or texture.
The tree is reliable, frost hardy and productive. It's a triploid, which tends to make a resilient and vigorous tree. It produces large and attractive blossoms are easily pollinated by most other mid season flowering varieties. It crops heavily too.
