A sport of Starking having a more solid red flush. Discovered in 1952 by Lester Green and Clifford Nelson in the Azwell Orchard of the Wells and Wade Fruit Company, Wenatchee, Washington, USA. Introduced in 1958. Fruits have very firm, very sweet, juicy flesh with a highly aromatic flavour.
Westfield Seek No Further (01-Jan.)
Originated in Westfield, Massachusetts, USA. Known in 1796. Fruits have a little soft, fine, yellowish white flesh with a sweet and slightly aromatic flavour.
Whitfield (06-Jan.)
Large, conical and tastes like a commercial apple - one that would not be out of place on a supermarket shelf although it is much nicer than most. The taste has a lemony tang with crunchy flesh which melts in the mouth.
Whitwick Pippin (20-Apr.)
Found in a private garden in Whitwick, Leicestershire...the remarkable property of this apple is that it hangs on the tree almost indefinitely. If netted against birds the fruit will sometimes keep on the tree in reasonable condition until early March. It's a hard textured, long lasting, very late apple, dual purpose; edible as dessert from about Xmas Day.
Wickham Green (04-Feb.)
Fruits have fine, firm, white flesh with a little acid flavour.
William Crump (01-Dec.)
Raised by Carless, foreman at Rowe's Nurseries, Worcester and introduced by them. Received an Award of Merit in 1908 and a First Class Certificate in 1910 from the Royal Horticultural Society. Fruits have firm, fine-textured, juicy flesh with a sweet and rich, aromatic flavour.
