ELLISONS ORANGE, EATING (DESSERT) APPLE TREE – Malus domestica ELLISONS ORANGE

This truly classic English Apple tree was introduced in the late 19th century in Lincolnshire. Being a derivative of the Cox family the Ellisons Orange also has a strong deep flavour but with an occasional hint of aniseed barely noticeable if eaten straight after picking. The flesh of the Ellisons Orange is soft and juicy with a similarity to the flesh of a pear and this particular variety of Apple tree has an attractive golden red striped skin colour. The intense strong delicious flavour of this Apple tree led to it being awarded the Garden of Merit in the early 1920’s no longer grown commercially the Ellison Orange remains a strong favourite for the garden.
