Royal Limbertwig Apples

Royal Limbertwig are large-sized apples, sometimes slightly conical.

They have greenish-yellow skin almost entirely covered with a dull red flush, and dark red stripes.

Inside, they have finely-textured, firm, tender, juicy yellow flesh, which is very aromatic.

The flesh has good flavour with a bit of tartness.

The fruit ripens over a period from October to early November.

The tree is semi-weeping. It does well in warmer areas, and starts bearing when young.

Cooking Tips

Makes good apple butter, and good cider.

History Notes

Royal Limbertwig Apples were developed at the University of Illinois Agricultural Experimentation Station circa 1896.
