Wanstall Pippin
Excellent eating apple, also known as Wanstall Jack, or Jack in the Wood.
A flavourful creamy flesh, juicy, crisp, and firm. Mostly sweet with a hint of tart. A medium sized, round, golden yellow fruit with patches of red and a little russet. It will store for around six months.
It is an old Kentish variety from the 1800’s, there is some debate as to whether it was a tailor in Sittingbourne or possibly a farmer, Thomas Wanstall in Greenstreet, Kent, that named the apple.
It is a moderately vigorous tree fruiting on spurs.
