Description

Annie Elizabeth is a well-known traditional English apple variety, valued for its attractive fruit, reliable cropping and exceptional keeping qualities. Annie Elizabeth is by far the best storer in our collection, with apples lasting in storage up until April!

The apples are large and handsome, with greenish-yellow skin that develops a bright red flush and deeper red markings as they mature. The flesh is firm, crisp and juicy, with a refreshing flavour that combines sweetness with a pleasant touch of acidity.

A versatile variety, Annie Elizabeth can be enjoyed fresh when fully ripe or used in pies, crumbles, sauces and other home cooking. The fruit holds its shape well when cooked, making it particularly useful in the kitchen.

The tree is an excellent choice for a home orchard, kitchen garden or traditional fruit collection. Its combination of large, colourful apples, dependable cropping and outstanding storage life makes Annie Elizabeth a particularly rewarding variety for gardeners who want to enjoy home-grown apples well into the following spring.
