Bloody Ploughman Apple Trees

'Bloody Ploughman' Apple Trees : Eating, Cooking, Cider

Bloody Ploughman apple trees produce an early-mid season dual-purpose apple.

Lovely big, chunky, and red, it makes a decent apple sauce. The flesh is crisp and juicy with a gentle flavour that makes a nice change from really sweet varieties. The ripe fruit can darken to an almost purple colour, with stained flesh that makes a beautiful juice.

This vigorous Scottish breed will do well in cold spots.
