apple 'Court Pendu Plat'

A late, dessert apple with yellow-green skin, flushed and striped with red and marked with russet speckles. Dry, dense, pale cream flesh develops an intense, rich, sweet, fruity flavour as it matures in storage. Upright, compact trees crop well in mid-autumn, fruit storing until early spring. Partly self-fertile, it crops better with a group 4 or 5 pollinator. A very ancient variety, possible dating back to Roman times, the name literally translates as ‘short-hanging flat’ in reference to the very short-stalked, somewhat flattened fruit
