Shockley Apples

Shockley are small to medium-sized, slightly conical apples.

They have tough, smooth, pale yellow skin mostly covered with bright red, and faint yellow dots. They have a deep, russetted cavity at the stem end.

Inside, they have off-white juicy, crisp flesh with a sweet, rich flavour.

The fruit ripens October to November, depending on location.

The tree is a reliable, heavy bearer. It is a good pollinator for Ribston Pippin.
