eynsham dumpling

Picture
Description

Another of the many apples raised by F.W. Wastie of Eynsham, Oxfordshire. It was raised in 1935, 'shown' in 1958 and recorded in 1960 when it was sent to the National Fruit Trials by his son and also fruit breeder, J.F. Wastie. A cross between Blenheim Orange and Sandringham. A late culinary apple, with large fruit, and skin of yellow green patched with russet. It keeps until December. Firm, creamy white flesh with an acid flavour, quickly cooking to a stiff puree. Fully flavoured, but welcomes the addition of sugar. Attractive blossom and a good bearer.
