Kingston Black Apples

Kingston Black Apples are 2 inches (5 cm) tall by 2 ½ inches (6 cm) wide.

They have yellowish-orange skin covered in dark reddish-brown.

The flavour has a bitter, sharp taste that is both sweet and astringent at the same time.

The tree is small. It blooms late, and produces a late harvest.

Cooking Tips

The apple’s flavour is good for a single-variety cider even without any blending.

The apple yields a brownish-red juice that is 14.75% sugar. Ferments to 7% alcohol.

History Notes

Presumed to have originated in Somersetshire, England, sometime around 1820.

Language Notes
