An old variety of eating apple grown since 1873 or 1874. It is a crimson apple which grows on a tree which has grey bark. Its crisp, sweet white flesh is intensely perfumed, with hints of strawberry.

It arose in the garden of Mr Hale of Swan Pool at St Johns near Worcester and was probably a seedling of Devonshire Quarrenden. It received the Royal Horticultural Society First Class Certificate in 1875 and the Award of Garden Merit in 1993. This early-season apple is harvested from early September in South-East England and has poor storage properties.
