Knobbed Russet Apple Tree
Knobbed Russet Apple Tree
Knobbed Russet is a rare English heirloom known for its distinctive, rugged appearance and rich, concentrated flavor. Its golden-bronze russeted skin often develops characteristic knobby ridges near the crown, giving it a truly old-world look.
Beneath its textured exterior, Knobbed Russet offers firm, dense flesh with a sweet, nutty flavor and excellent sugar content — making it ideal for fresh eating, cider, and traditional baking.
Harvest: Mid to late season (September–October)
Best For: Fresh eating, cider, baking
Pollination: Requires a compatible pollinator
Zones: 5–8
If you appreciate heirlooms with character and complex flavor, Knobbed Russet is a unique and rewarding addition to any orchard.
