Somerset Redstreak
Cider · Apple · Malus domestica Borkh. · 1 accession
Thought to have originated in the Sutton Montis area of Somerset. As a result of its good performance in a 1917 trial at the National Fruit & Cider Institute together with good orchard performance at Burghill, Hereford, it was subsequently propagated to be included in many commercial cider orchards. The medium sized fruit ripens in October. Produces a mild or medium bittersweet cider of average quality.
