Lane's Prince Albert
A well keeping cooking apple.
Shiny green flushed orange red, with a greenish white flesh. Soft and very juicy, keeps it shape well when cooked. A bit of sugar will enhance its rich, tangy flavour.
A reliable cropper. Stores well and will be sweet enough to eat by March.
Believed to have been raised by Quaker, Thomas Squire, Berkhamstead, around 1840. First named Victoria and Albert on the occasion of their visit to Berkhamstead to change horses at the King's Arms, later renamed in 1857 when introduced by grower John Lane.
The original tree remained in place until 1958, when the house and garden were removed to make way for a new building.
