Apple Dunkerton Late Sweet

Discovered by a Mr. Dunkerton as a seedling in his Somerset orchard in the 1940s, Apple Dunkerton Late Sweet is a cider apple which produces a light, sweet, fruity cider, low in acid and tannin. The fruit is small and yellowish-green with a light flush of red; the flesh is greenish-yellow and firm. Moderately vigorous tree with spreading habit. Spurs readily and is very disease-resistant, especially to scab.
