The Carroll Apple is a crowd favourite and early maturing apple!
An excellent apple to eat right off the tree, and makes great apple pies. The Carroll is a fresh tasting, sweet and aromatic apple with a hint of tartness that creates a fine balance in flavour. Light pink to red blush over cream coloured skin with white flesh, these apples are 7 to 8 cm (3") in diameter. Ripens in late August and can be stored up to 2 months.
Released by the Morden Research Station in 1961. Should be grown more often, one of our families favourite early season eating apples.
