Clapp’s Favourite is a classic English dessert apple, valued for its attractive appearance, refreshing flavour and early cropping season. This traditional variety remains a popular choice for gardeners looking to extend the apple harvest into the earlier part of the season.

The fruit is medium to large, with a distinctive greenish-yellow skin flushed and streaked with bright red as it ripens.

Clapp’s Favourite is particularly enjoyable when eaten straight from the tree, making it an excellent choice for the family fruit garden.

One of its greatest advantages is its early ripening period, with fruit generally ready to harvest from late August into early September, depending on the location and growing conditions. This makes it a useful variety for enjoying home-grown apples before many of the more familiar autumn cultivars are ready.

The tree produces attractive blossom in spring, with delicate white to pale pink flowers providing an important source of nectar for bees and other pollinating insects. It also makes an attractive feature tree, combining spring blossom with a crop of colourful fruit later in the year.

For the best results, plant Clapp’s Favourite in a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil. A sunny site will encourage good fruit development and help the apples achieve their best flavour. Regular watering during dry periods, particularly while the tree is becoming established, will also encourage healthy growth and reliable cropping.
