The Dolgo crab apple growing this evening between Woolston and Yarlington, Somerset.
Very tart and sharp when eaten raw off the branch, they possess a high sugar and pectin content. This makes them excellent for brewing local Somerset country ciders.
In a damp year, do you wind up with bacterial problems on the interior foliage? I can't imagine hitting this nice brick wall with a big splash of Bordeaux.
