Product information

‘Discovery’ is a modern early apple raised in Essex in the 1940s, a chance seedling of Worcester Pearmain. Medium fruits ripen bright red over yellow-green, with crisp juicy white flesh pink-tinged near the skin, and a pleasant sweet slightly aromatic flavour.

Reliable cropper, ripens in mid to late August (early season). Doesn’t keep long, so eat fresh. Partially self-fertile, crops heavier with a pollinator.

Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Winter-prune for framework. Good disease resistance makes it a reliable family orchard choice.

A firm favourite for family gardens, kitchen orchards, and trained forms.
