Apple, Beauty of Bath
Beauty of Bath - Eating Apple
Beauty of Bath (Malus domestica) is very early medium sized red
speckled eating apple with a delicious sharp but sweet flavour.
Originating in Somerset, Beauty of Bath makes a well shaped tree
that is hardy everywhere and crops well across the country (although
we in the south-west are a little proprietorial about her). Like
most early cropping apples (late July onwards) Beauty of Bath
is best eaten relatively fresh. She is an early flowering pollinator
and so needs to be grown in the company of another pollinating
or self-fertile apple for both to fruit.
