Description

Hearty was collected by Irish Seed Savers from an old self-rooting orchard in Scalp, Flagmount.  This is a russett variety which ripens in late October and requires a few weeks in storage to develop its full flavour.  The fruit has a crisp, firm texture with a mild nutty taste.

Picking: October
