Plant of the Day
Saturday 11 November 2023
An apple raised by Charles Ross in Berkshire and first exhibited in 1890 was Malus domestica ‘Charles Ross’. It produces large, sweet flavoured, juicy orange-red fruit but should be eaten by the end of October for the best flavour. The blossom attracts bees, and later any fallen fruit are popular with the birds whilst the buds are popular with bullfinches.
