History and description of Fearn's Pippin
Raised in Mr Bagley’s garden in Fulham, London, before 1780. Highly prized in Victorian England and widely grown around London and in Kent until its decline in popularity in the 1890's. A small flat-round fruit. A brilliant scarlet flush and short broken red stripes almost completely cover the greenish yellow skin. White flesh, firm and juicy with pleasant lightly aromatic sweet-sharp flavour, later developing a hint of raspberry. Upright tree of moderate vigour. Good cropper.Characteristics of Fearn's Pippin apple trees
