| Tree Description | Golden-yellow with a brown-red cheek. Between Ribston and Blenheim in character. Sweet perfumed flavour with fine, crisp yellow flesh. One of the best new year apples. |
| Comments | Suggested by RP. High Vitamin C with 22.40 Mg. per 100 grams. It was considered that there was no apple more worthy than the Orleans Reinette to close a good dinner, and well able to stand up fearlessly to a good port. |

Every cottage garden has its own miniature orchard: a dozen trees set out in two rows with the lower trunks whitewashed like bobby-socks to keep the insects at bay. (Roger Deakin writing about Ukraine)
