An attractive, highly disease-resistant apple, ideal for organic growers.
Tom Putt Apple Scionwood (Spring 2024)
A British heirloom for baking or cider. Also known as Jeffrey's Seedling, Thomas Jeffreys, Cottage Apple, Ploughman, Coalbrook, Marrowbone.
A vigorous, spreading, precocious, and reliably annual heirloom apple. It's even scab resistant! Tom Putt is a triploid and it will need to be grown with two other varieties for full pollination.
The fruit is medium-large and flattish. The skin is a smooth green-yellow blushed orange-red and striped deep red. The flesh is firm and coarse, tinged green or yellow, and sweetly aromatic. The juice produces a sharp cider and the apple stores well. This is an all-purpose apple. It has been traditionally used for fresh eating, cider, and baking.
Tom Putt is named after the Rector of Trent in the late 1700's, whose name was - you guessed it - Roger. Just kidding. His name was Tom Putt, and he was an avid fruit lover.
