Brown's Apple is a widely-grown traditional Devon cider apple variety, producing a bittersharp juice, primarily used in cider blends.

As well as being useful for cider production, Brown's Apple can be used as a cooker - it has a fruity sharp flavour.

How to grow

Brown's Apple originates from Staverton in Devon. As a result it makes a good choice for areas with mild damp climates, and has a good reputation for resistance to the fungal infections that often blight cider orchards.

Brown's flowers very late in the spring, and is a good pollinator of other late-flowering apple varieties since it typically produces a lot of blossom.

One of the key qualities of a good cider variety is cropping potential - and Brown's scores highly. It is a naturally vigorous tree and very heavy-cropping.
