The Malus domestica ‘Red Falstaff®’ is a late season dessert apple that is orange-red with a crisp, juicy flesh. The Red Falstaff store well and may be kept in the fridge for a couple of months, until about Christmas.
Apple are one of the easier fruit trees to grow and are increasingly becoming more popular with gardeners. They are medium sized deciduous trees with flashy Spring flowers and ornamental or edible fruit in the Autumn.
The taste of home-grown apples outdoes that of shop-bought variations.
Apple trees benefit from growing in slightly sheltered, sunny area, as the blossom will attract a large variety of pollinators as well as the sun will help ripen the fruit.
The Red Falstaff® is a natural genetic mutation of Falstaff, which is a cross between James Grieve and Golden Delicious. The apple is very juicy and is perfect for home-juicing, much like its parent, James Grieve.
