These medium sized apples are sharp flavoured.  The  main use is as a cooking apple, but is also good for cider.

Season: Flowering time is relatively late ( May) and the fruit starts to ripen in mid-August.

Pollination: It is in pollination group C and it is triploid - meaning that is is both self sterile and unable to pollinate other varieties.  Any of our group C apples ( such as the Winter Pearman) will pollinate it.

Rootstock:  The tree is gratfted onto MM106 rootstock, for a medium to large tree, which is very vigourous.

Severn Bank  originated in the late 1800s in Gloucestershire as a cooking apple
