Morgan Sweet is a traditional English west-country cider variety, producing a full sweet cider juice.
Although now usually classified as a cider apple variety, Morgan Sweet can be used when fully ripe as a passable eating apple. Many city children evacuated to the Somerset countryside during the Second World War have fond memories of Morgan Sweet as an eating apple - it was often the only kind available at the time.

Morgan Sweet is a triploid variety and cannot pollinate other varieties. It needs to be pollinated by another tree of a different variety nearby. You can either plant a self-fertile variety (which will pollinate itself and the Morgan Sweet) or you can plant two pollination partners which must each be of different varieties and able to cross-pollinate each other as well as the Morgan Sweet. If you need further advice on this just get in touch. Like all cider-apple varieties it can also be pollinated by most other apple varieties or crab-apples flowering at the same time.
