Wyken Pippin

A valued dessert apple of below-medium size with smooth pale greenish-yellow skin and an orange blush, featuring tender, juicy, sweet and richly flavored yellow flesh. In use from December to April, it originated from a seed planted at Wyken near Coventry, believed to derive from an apple Lord Craven had eaten while traveling between France and Holland. The original tree was recorded as very old in 1827.
