A very old English mid-season eating apple, an underestimated cooking apple and also used for cider making. Raised towards the end of the 18th century by the Reverend Tom Putt, or by his uncle of the same name, and brought to the vicarage at Trent near Sherborne, Dorset. Firm flesh when young, developing a complex sweet flavour reminiscent of pears when mature.
