Beckley Red (Holcroft)

Owned by John and Judy Holcroft, the tree looks a good century old. It is an early season apple, not keeping beyond September, medium sized, flat, round and almost all covered with deep glossy red, over a green skin. It is crisp, sweet and with a rich flavour. The flesh is often streaked and flushed with carmine. Very free spurring and good for restricted forms. Pollination Group 4
