Ashmead’s Kernel apple tree is known as an old English winter russet apple. The first Ashmead’s Kernel apple tree originated from a seed planted around 1700 by a Dr Thomas Ashmead in Gloucester. The Ashmead’s Kernel apple is medium size, golden-brown skin with a distinct crisp, nutty snap. The fruit explodes with a champagne-sherbet juice infused with a sugary and sharp character.
