Once commonly grown in NW Tyrone and Donegal, Apple Green Chisel is an Irish heritage variety of dessert apple. A medium-sized to large, slightly flattened apple, it has smooth, greenish-yellow skin with a little russeting and a few red streaks; the flesh is white, crisp and fairly juicy, with a hint of lemon flavour. A very healthy, vigorous tree. The fruit is particularly clean and scab-resistant, and can be picked from late August in favourable years.
This Irish Heritage Apple tree was originally saved and propagated by Irish Seed Savers in Scarriff, County Clare.
