Warner's King
Culinary apple
Malus domestica Borkh.
Believed to have originated in Kent. Known since the late 1700s (prior name King Apple). It was sent by Warner to Rivers Nursery who gave it the distinguishing prefix. Fruits have rather soft, a little coarse-textured, juicy flesh with a very acid flavour. Cooks well.
