Lord Lambourne (apple)
Lord Lambourne is a variety of apple that was first introduced in the United Kingdom in the early 20th century. It is a dessert apple, known for its juicy and aromatic flavor.
History[edit | edit source]
The Lord Lambourne apple was first bred by Laxton Brothers Ltd, a renowned British nursery, in 1907. It was named after the then president of the Royal Horticultural Society, Lord Lambourne. The apple is a cross between the James Grieve apple and the Cox's Orange Pippin, two popular apple varieties in the UK.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Lord Lambourne apples are medium-sized with a round shape. The skin is smooth and has a yellow-green color, often with a red or orange blush. The flesh is white, crisp, and juicy. The flavor is a balance of sweetness and acidity, with a distinctive aromatic quality.
The tree is moderately vigorous and has an upright growth habit. It is partially self-fertile, but can benefit from cross-pollination with other apple varieties. The apples are typically ready for harvest in late September.
Cultivation[edit | edit source]
Lord Lambourne apples are suitable for growing in temperate climates. They prefer a sunny location and well-drained soil. The trees are resistant to most common apple diseases, but can be susceptible to apple scab.
The apples are best used fresh, but can also be stored for a short period. They are excellent for eating out of hand, but can also be used in cooking and baking.
