Malus domestica Borkh. Borkh.
Dessert
Beauty of Bath is an English dessert apple from Somerset, introduced in 1864. It has a deep red flush with russet markings and creamy white, soft, juicy flesh with subacid flavor. Best enjoyed fresh shortly after picking; historically popular for local markets in England but now rare due to poor storage qualities over long distances.
