George Cave Apples

George Cave are small-sized apples, with yellowish-green skin. As it ripens, the yellow becomes more pronounced, and the skin is flushed with red on one half, and with red touches on the rest.

The creamy-white flesh is finely-textured, crisp, aromatic and juicy with a sharp, mildly-sweet taste with a balancing tartness.

In East Anglia, England, George Cave Apples are often ready for harvest by the end of July, but certainly by mid-August.

The tree is a reliable bearer, but once the apples are ripe, some of them may drop from the trees.
