Charles Ross - Eating / Cooking Apple Trees

Malus Charles Ross

Charles Ross is a Victorian apple, a cross in about 1890 between Cox's Orange Pippinand Peasgood Nonsuch - an old english cooker. It is named after the head gardener in the late 1800's at Welford Park in Berkshire who was a keen apple breeder. This is probably his best. Charles Ross - the apple, not the man looks a bit like a Cox's with the red/orange streaks typical of the Cox family although it is altogether a larger apple.  Its taste is sharp with a tang of orange when freshly picked although it sweetens when it has been stored for a bit.  White fleshed, Charles Ross can also be cooked when it ideal for apple pie although too lumpy for apple sauce. This is a really juicy apple that also makes great cider.

Charles Ross is a mid-season semi-fertile pollinator and so crops better if grown in the company of another pollinator. If you would like to learn more about fruit pollination and for help choosing a suitable pollinator for Charles Ross, please take a look at our Guide to Fruit Pollination. Use October-March.
