Malus domestica Ellisons Orange
Ellisons Orange apples juice wonderfully well and are also excellent keepers with crisp flesh and a taste that develops with storage.
This is an old apple - introduced in 1904 and is are ideal for colder areas and frost pockets where it makes a very good substitute for Cox's Orange Pippin.
Ellisons Orange is a late flowering self-fertile apple; it will carry fruit unaided, but always crops better in the company of a pollinator, when both will fruit well.
