Suttons Apple 'Discovery'
Description
Apple 'Discovery' is a well known dessert variety with a fine, sweet flavour that brings to mind a hint of strawberries. Although often found in supermarkets, it has a short storage potential of just a couple of weeks, so it is best eaten when picked fresh from the tree. Any surplus fruits can be pressed to make a delicious juice. This early variety ripens in late August and reliably produces good yields with maturity.

For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator.
