First came to prominence in Rodney Stoke in Somerset in the 1920s. The variety was also found to have been grown earlier at Wedmore in Somerset where it was known as ‘Neverblight’. The fruit is small to medium sized, yellow skinned with a bright red flush. It produces a medium bittersharp juice which ferments to a sharp, often scented, vintage quality cider.
