Scrumptious (Malus domestica 'Scrumptious') has become one of our top-selling eating apple varieties. The result of a selective apple breeding program, using apple varieties Starkspur Goldon Delicious x Discovery as parents, Scrumptious is very popular for a variety of reasons. Named for the complexity of its flavours, it was specifically bred for UK garden conditions. As a mid-season apple variety, it is also well-suited to all areas of the United Kingdom. An added bonus is that scrumptious is self-fertile, therefore, no need for another apple tree to act as a pollination partner. Important if space is limited. Apple tree experts have described this apple in many positive ways; fragrant and honeyed, liquorice and wine, a bunch of cherries, fresh, aromatic, soft and delicate, crisp and sweet, and so on. We are sure once you have sampled Scrumptious for your self you could add to this list!
