Apple Winston Bred in Berkshire in the first half of the 20th century, late dessert Apple Winston is nevertheless suitable for all areas, and is an excellent garden tree. The fruit is small to medium-sized, yellowish-green, flushed and streaked red. The flesh is light cream, crisp and juicy; the taste eaten from the tree is quite sharp, but it sweetens after a couple of weeks in store, becoming well balanced and reminiscent of its parent, Cox’s Orange Pippin. Very good keeper – will store until April in ideal conditions. Compact, healthy tree, spur-bearer, very reliable and easy to grow. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
