While Arthur Turner makes a good sweet sauce, it is a truly outstanding baking apple. Hardier than most cookers, Arthur Turner does well in the North of England and is the best cooking apple to plant in frost pockets. It keeps well and can be used through the winter from October to March. Arthur Turner apple trees flower in mid season and are self-fertile. This means they will produce some fruit if planted alone, but will crop better in the company of another pollinator.
