Yarlington Mill is a Somerset classic for rich, fruity and well-balanced bittersweet cider. Its juice combines abundant sugar, mild astringency and low acidity, making it suitable for quality blends or single-variety cider. The vigorous tree produces heavy crops but can become strongly biennial. As a very late cultivar, it requires a long growing season to ripen fully in northern European regions.

Description

Yarlington Mill is a traditional English cider apple variety. It was discovered at the end of the 19th century and has been a mainstay of English commercial cider production ever since.

It is a heavy-cropping variety and yields a large quantity of good quality bittersweet juice, which can be blended with other cider varieties. The apples tend to be a bit larger than is generally the case with cider varieties.
