apple 'Dabinett'

ABOUT

'Dabinett' is a cider apple, with a bittersweet flavour, capable of producing a balanced, medium-dry cider on its own. The fruit is yellowish-green, variably-flushed and striped with red and often with russet streaks. It is self-fertile and a very late cropper, ready to pick in November, though it starts to crop at a relatively young age
