History and description of Falstaff

Falstaff apple was raised by Dr F Alston, East Malling Research Station, Kent, UK 1965 from James Grieve X Golden Delicious. Grown commercially in continental Europe and on a very small scale in the UK.

Medium sized, oblong-conical fruit. Red flush and stripes over smooth yellow skin. Very attractive looking but colouring may be poor in less sunny parts of the UK. Very crisp, juicy flesh. Pleasant refreshing, fruity flavour with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. A good dessert variety also useful for juice making. Keeps its crispness well in storage.

Moderately vigorous trees. Heavy cropping, partially self-fertile variety. Good resistance to late frosts. A good garden variety.
