Tree Description Very early, rather small, mottled orange and scarlet on yellow, pleasantly sharp but sweet and juicy. A late summer dessert apple, ready in August. Best eaten straight off the tree.
Comments Suggested by RP. RP has childhood memories of a Beauty of Bath tree in his grandmother's Norfolk orchard chicken run. To pick fruit meant facing a rather vicious cock, who lorded it over the whole orchard.
