A long-established, late-season, dual-purpose apple, Malus domestica Allington Pippin has medium-sized fruit, with pale yellow skin flushed with red-orange, with some streaking and russeting. This apple can be used for cooking when first picked; it keeps its shape and has a flavour reminiscent of pears, but sweetens in store and develops a marked flavour of pineapple. The tree is of average vigour, is a spur-bearer, and is a good cropper, although the apples should be thinned, as it has a tendency to biennial bearing. With pale pink blossom, it’s partially self-fertile, but will crop better when planted near an apple of the same or adjacent pollination group. Some resistance to scab. Apple Allington Pippin does best in a warmer site and good soil.
