English Apples - Schoolmaster
Unusual cooking apple thought to have arisen from the seed of an imported Canadian apple in the garden of the old Stamford Grammar School.
It was sent to the RHS by Thomas Laxton in 1880.
It doesn't look particularly special, but it's a good cooker, and it was once popular for putting into tins because it doesn't discolour.
I haven't tested this one but it's probably high in vitamin C.
It's quiter late; picked in mid-Oct it will store in good condition until about January.
