Culinary·Triploid
Warner's King is a large, flat-conical culinary apple from early nineteenth-century Kent with pale yellow-green skin, white tender acid flesh, and high vigor. Suitable for cooking until February, it has multiple synonyms reflecting its regional distribution. The variety is prone to canker and of uncertain ultimate origin despite its English attribution.
