Tom Putt
A mild sharp cider apple, also used for cooking and juicing.
A greenish yellow waxy base almost entirely covered with bright crimson flush. A soft yellowish flesh with a mild sharpness.
Fruit begins to fall in August an does not store for long. Vigorous and spreading, early flowering.
Uncertain as to whether it was Rev Thomas Putt 1757-1884 or his uncle Tom Putt who first raised this apple, which has since become a regular favourite throughout the West Country. Tom Putt has been quoted: 'A rosy apple that grew in every garden and every orchard.'
As well as producing a pleasant dry, sharp cider it's a good cooker and produces a great juice.
Triploid.
