Apple - Saturn - Barerooted

Flowering Group - 3

Pick - September

Store - September

Raised at East Malling Research Station, Kent by Dr Frank Alston. First selected in 1977. Fruits are crisp and juicy with a pleasant sweet flavour. Scab and mildew resistant.

Although aimed at commercial and organic growers, Saturn could have promise as a garden variety, since the built-in disease resistance makes it very suitable for the "un-treated" regime favoured by many gardeners.
