History and description of George Neal
George Neal apple was raised by Mrs Reeves at Otford, Kent, in 1904. Introduced in 1923 by
nurseryman Robert Neal, of Wandsworth, who named it after his brother George. Received
RHS Award of Merit in 1923. A large dual purpose apple.
Large, flat-round, fairly regular shaped fruit with broad, well-rounded
ribs. Pale green background colour becoming pale yellow. One-quarter to
three-quarters flushed brownish red. Short, broken bright red stripes.
Becomes greasy if stored. Pale cream flesh, rather soft, juicy and acid.
When cooked it does not break up entirely, has a delicate flavour and
needs no extra sugar. Quite sharp as a dessert apple.
