Laxton’s Superb

Dessert apple
Raised by Laxton Bros. of Bedford in 1897 and introduced in 1922. A cross of Cellini x Cox’s Orange Pippin. A medium sized greenish apple flushed deep carmine and occasionally streaked purple. Firm, crisp flesh that can taste a little like aniseed. Has good resistance to canker and mildew. It is partially self-fertile, so will set some fruit by itself. Having another same or different apple variety with the same or adjacent pollination group nearby will help cropping.
Flowering period D
Pick mid-Oct, use Nov-Jan
