The ripe fruit have a deep red-purple flush, and the flowers a fairly late, which makes them less susceptible to late frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e that this tree, although it makes outstanding cider all by itself, is not ideal if you only have room for one cider apple tree. It is slower than average to begin cropping (it is worth the wait) and it has a natural biennial habit. If you already have another, more consistent cider apple tree, then we recommend adding Ashton Brown Jersey to your collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/apple-fruit-trees\"\u003eapple trees\u003c\/a\u003e or the full variety of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/fruit-trees\"\u003efruit trees\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Cider.
