Lord Lambourne Apple

Received the Bunyard Cup from The Royal Horticultural Society in 1921 and an Award of Merit in 1923.

Fruits have a slightly course texture with bright striped skins.  They are juicy, moderately sweet and armoaic with a hint of strawberry.

A good garden apple but no longer commercially grown because the waxy skins clog mechanical grinders.
