Belverdere House

Description

Belvedere House Apple is from the Irish Heritage Collection. It produces profolic quantities of red apples which have red flesh.  Excellent for jams and jellies, but also large enough for tarts. Their flavour is particular good when the appes are dried in a dehydrator. This is a very ornamental tree with beautiful prolific pink blossoms in Springtime, foliage has a slight purple vein. A variety found growing at Belvedere House, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath. Tip Bearer.
