The flesh is firm, dense and intensely aromatic, with a distinctive sharp, pear-drop sweetness balanced by good acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFruit is small to medium in size, with rough, heavily russeted skin over a greenish-gold background. A connoisseur's apple rather than a showy one — valued for taste over appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFlowers in mid-season (pollination group 3) and is a reliable but moderate cropper. Apples are picked in October and benefit from storing for several weeks, developing their full complex flavour by November onwards, keeping well into the New Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrown on semi-vigorous M26 rootstock, reaching approximately 2.5–3m in height and spread at maturity — a good choice for smaller gardens as a bush or espalier tree, tolerant of a wide range of soil types. Trees typically begin cropping within 3–4 years of planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupplied as a healthy, well-rooted tree, ready to establish in its new home. A must for anyone serious about growing classic English dessert apples.dire\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58783974752630,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/AshmeadsKernel_e2bb176f-b48d-4d6f-b3f3-ec355c5510ca.jpg?v=1789980851","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/apple-malus-ashmeads-kernel-m26","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
