Apple Reid’s Seedling

Selected from a seedling by a Mr. Reid in Co. Armagh in the late 19th century, Apple Reid’s Seedling is an Irish heritage variety. A mid-season dessert apple, it has very attractive fruit; large for a dessert apple, it is round to conical in shape, and yellow with a big red blush on one cheek and some red stippling and russet spots. The flesh is soft, sweet and very juicy, sometimes marked with pink spots. Resistant to scab.
