Picking this late winter variety from East Anglia. Sturmer Pippin does best in a dry climate with long summers, this year it has performed very well for us. It might have been possible to leave on the tree another week or 2, but strong winds are forecast and I am going away for 4 days so picking today. The fruit has acquired a very good colour and was coming off the tree easily.
These apples are like Granny Smith in sharpness and texture but IMO with better flavour. They will be stored as cool as possible and we expect to be eating and/or selling them from November to February. A good choice for a late winter apple especially if you have warmer climate.
