Description

5 - 6 apples per kilo Perfect for baking and a great eating apple. Cripps Red (sold as Sundowner™) have a dark red skin and round shape. Its most prominent feature is white markings called lenticels that occur naturally on the skin. Sugar levels in Cripps Red apples (sold as Sundowner™) improve with storage, making them a sweet, flavoursome apple, perfect for baking. Cripps Red (sold as Sundowner™) is a cross between a Golden Delicious and Lady Williams, and it originated in Western Australia. 6 - 7 apples in a kilo The Growers: Graeme & Fiona Schultz, have been supplying us with their Apples for the past 15+years. Located locally at Forest Range, the family property stretches over 60hectares…25 of which is Orchard, the other 35 remaining virgin bush land. They grow an extensive variety - including Fujis, Pink Ladys, Jonathons, Granny Smiths, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Braeburn Apples. The season runs from February to September - after which we source from other growers around Australia to fill the void. We applaud the Schultz family for their commitment to the environment as well as a big thank you for supplying us with the most sought after apples in Australia.
