Leicestershire Apples - Prince Charles
PRINCE CHARLES
Dessert, September-October. Lord Lambourne x
Cox's Orange Pippin. Raised between 1940 and 1945 at Victoria Nurseries,
Burbage, Leicestershire, by Herbert Robinson. Joan Morgan's book describes the taste as follows: "Fruits have creamy white flesh with a sweet, slightly subacid, slightly aromatic flavour". (seen
at Brogdale apple exhibition, Oct 2004)
My impressions - they are very similar in flavour and appearance to Laxton's Fortune but without the hint of aniseed; there is also a slightly different background taste. Sweet, light, slightly aromatic; this is a very good apple.
