Description

Rubaiyat is one of the best examples of a red-fleshed apple. In a good year the bright red skin blends seamlessly into the bright red flesh – an effect you rarely see in any apple.

Like many red-fleshed apples the blossom is a darker pink than regular apples, and quite attractive.

The apples ripen very late in the season, early November in north-west Europe. They do not keep and although the flavour can be acceptable in some years it may not be edible.

Overall we think Rubaiyat is a remarkable apple, but it requires dedication and experience to get the best results.
