Horticultural & Botanical History
History unknown. A free grower and good bearer. ‘This apple is so pleasant and agreeable when fresh gathered from the tree as to make it worthy of the dessert table. It is also an excellent culinary apple.’ [HP].
History at Camden Park
Listed in the 1850 and 1857 catalogues [Apple no.42/1850].
Notes
The identification of this apple is uncertain. It seems likely that ‘Crown Codlin’ is a synonym of ‘Royal Codlin’ but this was not specifically stated in the ‘Herefordshire Pomona’. I have found no other reference to either ‘Crown Codlin’ or ‘Royal Codlin’ in the earlier Pomological literature.
