Beauty Of Bath
A very popular old apple from the southwest of England during the 19th century. It's one of the earliest apples - maturing in most parts of Australia around Christmas. Small in size, its skin is an attractive red flush / stripe over yellow. The flesh is creamy white with a fairly sharp but sweet flavour and quite aromatic. Tends to bear heavily and regularly, and fruit fall easily from the tree when ripe.
