Discovery apple tree
I've recently been given an apple tree and all I know is it's a discovery.
I've planted it on the allotment, and am assuming the various other apple trees around the vicinity will mean no pollination problems, but I'd like to know 1 Is discovery a cooker or an eater? 2 what time of year will it flower/fruit? TIA Shazzbat |

Discovery apple tree
The message
from "shazzbat" contains these words: I've recently been given an apple tree and all I know is it's a discovery.

TIA Shazzbat It's an excellent early eater. It will fruit in mid August onwards. It's a colourful apple with quite a lot of red flush on it. Janet G |

writes I've recently been given an apple tree and all I know is it's a discovery. I've planted it on the allotment, and am assuming the various other apple trees around the vicinity will mean no pollination problems, Most likely yes. but I'd like to know 1 Is discovery a cooker or an eater? Eater. 2 what time of year will it flower/fruit? It very early fruiting, we don't grow it, but it seems to be the earliest English apple in the shops - arriving in late August IIRC. The fruit doesn't seem to keep well, an apple to pick and eat it would seem. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

Discovery apple tree
Its an eater
Mine is about to flower Its reliable and a fairly heavy cropper i have loads of varieties so not sure what its pollinator is The apples are smallish with red/pink skin and red tinge to flesh They are very sweet and by beg of August generally the wasps sure know it Earwigs start by making a hole near the stalk and the wasps carry on My grandkids love the apples which really need eating off the tree or kept in cold storage as they soon loose their crispnes "shazzbat" wrote in message ...
