This is a Keswick cross, so has  good genes. It is an early cooker, can be small unless thinned, but is very hardy and productive, a character of all the codlins. I came across a row of these near the motorway near Falkirk, they were very old and neglected, but still form a really productive and healthy hedgerow! It cooks to a nice fluff, or is a crisp eater.
