Rubayat is one of the most striking red-fleshed apples when growing conditions suit it. The red skin continues into brightly coloured flesh with a balanced sweet-sharp flavour and pronounced berry notes. It ripens very late, around early November in north-western Europe. The apples store poorly, and eating quality can vary considerably according to season, exposure and ripeness.

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.
