The Carlisle Codlin apple is thought to have originated in Carlisle in Cumbria and records show evidence of it’s presence before 1830.
Fruits have a rather soft and slightly coarse textured flesh, juicy and mildly acidic. The skin is very smooth and shiny when ripe.
Cultivation of this apple is probably only of local heritage interest, it does not have a good flavour and its very upright habit, makes picking of the fruit difficult.
