The flavour is quite acidic and this is a variety best used in the kitchen, where the red flesh can be used to advantage.

The juice of Early Red Meat is also an attractive dark pink colour, with a very sharp flavour.

The apples are ripe in the second half of August, and should be picked and used within a week or so as they do not keep.

In spring the dark pink / red blossom is particularly attractive.
