Russet Apple


Russet apples are named for their russet skins, rougher than the usual smooth skin variety of apples. The Russet pictured is actually a Herefordshire Russet but we also grow the famous Egremont Russet which was developed in Victorian times.

Why not pop by the Orchard Farm Shop, Redmoor Lane, Wisbech, PE14 0RN and see which you prefer. Opening hours currently 8am -4pm Monday to Saturday, 9am - 4pm Sunday.

(By the way, the Hereford Russet includes Cox's Orange Pippin and Idared apples in it's parentage both of which are grown here in our orchard at Redmoor Lane, Wisbech.)
