// 3. COURT PENDU PLAT

(known as ‘The Wise Apple’ and ‘Wallaton Pippin’). Originated in Roman times and used in many breeding programmes today, as its late flowering and long keeping qualities make it a useful partner. Keeps in normal store until April/May. Small, round, flat fruit, dull yellow with light red flush and slight russeting. Produces small tree, but prolific cropper and resistant to scab.
