Brown’s Apple

A large apple, somewhat flattened looking. Three-quarters of the skin is a dull-red or mottled dull-red, the rest is a dull green.

It has a sharp, tart taste, which makes it good for cider.

The tree tends to bear fruit in good quantity only every other year. The apples ripen at the end of October.

History Notes
