Redsleeves apple

/RED-sleevz/
[English]

A medium-sized eating apple with good qualities and yellowish-green skin almost entirely flushed with bright red. It was raised by the prolific Dr F Alston at East Malling Research Station in Kent as an Exeter Cross cross and introduced commercially in 1986. This early-season apple is harvested from late August in South-East England and has poor storage properties.
