B&Q Lincolnshire Fruits Herefordshire Russet Potted Apple 7 Litre Tree
Description
Herefordshire Russet stands as a novel English russet apple variety, meticulously crafted by the skilled apple breeder, Hugh Ermen.Initially presumed to be a result of the union between Cox and Idared, subsequent genetic testing carried out by the Frank P. Matthews nursery, in collaboration with Hugh Ermen, revealed its true lineage as a blend of Cox and Golden Delicious. This places it in close kinship with Rubinette, another apple born of the Cox x Golden Delicious union.Given that both Cox and Golden Delicious possess a subtle inclination toward russeting, it comes as no surprise that some of their progeny, including Herefordshire Russet, showcase this distinctive characteristic.The amalgamation of Cox and Golden Delicious in Herefordshire Russet gives rise to an exceptionally pleasing flavor profile, as one would anticipate from such a pairing.
