Pumpkin Sweet Apples

Pumpkin Sweet are large-sized, ribbed apples.

They have tough, smooth, pale green skin that ripens to yellowish-orange with patches of russet, and occasionally a brownish-red flush.

Inside, they have firm, crisp, juicy yellow flesh with a sweet taste.

The fruit ripens from October onwards. The wind can take fruit off the tree easily.

The tree starts bearing when it is 6 to 8 years old.

Cooking Tips

Good for baking, canning, pies, sauce, apple butter.

Not very good for fresh-eating unless picked when only just ripe.

Storage Hints

Stores well.
