This medium sized deep yellow striped/streaked/splashed with red apple is regarded as the finest flavored 'English style' apple there is. A complex - some say perfect - blend of sugar, acid and aromatics is contained in juicy, tender, yellow flesh. It is regarded as a difficult apple to grow due primarily to disease suceptibility in it's country of origin - UK - but is not problematical in other countries. C.O. spurs freely and bears well, but bearing is much improved if a good pollinator is nearby. C.O. fruit are usually available in the market, but are not usually fully tree ripened, showing a lot of green on the fruit. They are good, but incomparably better if picked at the peak of maturity.
