Edward VII is a large, yellow-green cooking apple from Worcestershire with pink-brown blush, developed in 1908. It features firm, coarse-textured flesh and is an extraordinary keeper, ripening in autumn and storing until Easter. The variety cooks well and breaks down completely, making it ideal for culinary use in cool, wet climates.
