Malus domestica “Ashmead’s Kernel” 
 
This variety dates back to 1700's England. The medium size fruit with brown russetting keeps extremely well and makes a potent, 'sharp', aromatic juice. The incredible sweet-tart flavor of this superb heirloom apple has made it a connoisseur's favorite. Ashmead's Kernel is a versatile apple, not just for eating fresh, it can also be used for salads and cooking, and it is a highly-valued apple for juicing and hard cider.
 
Be patient. This one can take 3 to 4 years to produce fruit.
