Apple - Pendragon
Pendragon is a dual-purpose apple, notable for its red flesh.
The blossom is also very attractive - it is dark red rather than the pale pink of most apples, and can rival any pink-blossom crab-apple.
The flavour for eating fresh is described by Nigel Deacon, a leading expert on red-fleshed apples, as "reasonably acceptable". It can also be used in the kitchen, and for adding colour to cider blends.
As with many red-fleshed apples, Pendragon contains natural anthcyanin pigments, which are considered to have beneficial health properties.
Picking season: Early
Self-fertility: Not self-fertile
Flowering group: 6
