The Malus domestica ‘Blenheim Orange’, or Blenheim Orange Apple Tree, is a classic English variety first discovered in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, in the mid-18th century. Known for its large, golden-green apples flushed with red, this dual-purpose variety offers both excellent cooking qualities and a sweet, nutty flavour when eaten fresh. Its fruit is rich in vitamin C and makes outstanding pies, sauces, and juices, while also storing well into winter.
