      is a
      great tasting cooking apple, however it can miss a season every three years or
      so. The fruit breaks
      down on cooking. This is the cooking apple recommended by GardenAction. A
                      reliable variety, free from diseases and easy to maintain. Keeps well for
                      a long time.
