History and description of Court Pendu Plat

Perhaps the oldest variety of apple still grown. First described in about 1613 and considered of great antiquity then. Some writers think its origins go back to Roman times. Always a very popular apple in Victorian times. Still considered one of the best of the really late dessert varieties. Very late flowering.

Medium sized flat, well-rounded, regular fruit. Greenish yellow skin becoming yellow. Up to three-quarters flushed dull deep orange-red with short broken dark stripes. Slight russetting. Dry skin. The flesh is creamy white, firm, fine-textured and juicy. Fruity flavour with pineapple-like acidity. Becomes sweet with keeping but retains its strong flavour.

Slow growing, small upright tree. Produces spurs freely. Very late attractive blossom good for regions prone to late frosts.
