Bloody Ploughman
Bloody Ploughman
Eater. Raised by Storrie of Glencarse , Perthshire, before 1883. Blood red, flesh containing pink streaks when ripe.
Several stories of its origin: one, that a ploughman was shot by a gamekeeper on the Megginch estate, while he was scrumping. His wife threw the bag of apples on a rubbish heap, and several seedlings grew, the first of this variety. There is a green and red clone of this, we, of course, only sell the blood red clone!

You can buy it in the markets of France and Belgium. My young cordon has given me a bucketful of delicious, large, firm, and juicy fruit every year so far.
