This exceptionally beautiful apple has deep rich crimson skin with a rich strawberry hue interior. Young trees are initially have quite upright growth but will age to a gracefully weeping crown, the blossom is also a rich cerise making also the perfect complement to any orchard or even as a purely ornamental tree if the gardener so wishes. 
 
There has been quite a buzz about this apple since in 2009 the Telegraph Newspaper released its bold article stating that there had been evidence that the Pendragon has been grown in the South West since the 12th Century & in clinical trial this variety beat firm favours such as Cox or Golden Delicious on its nutritional qualities & exemplary health benefits.
