Dabinett is one of the few apples that can make a good single variety cider.
Discovered by William Dabinett in a hedgerow in Middle Lambrook, Somerset, in the early twentieth century. Middle Lambrook lies between East Lambrook and West Lambrook, and sits on the north bank of Lambrook Brook. Dabinett (the tree) is reputed to be the offspring of Chisel Jersey, another quality Somerset apple.
The apple is a moderate bittersweet, held in high regard in the UK and the US both as a single varietal and as a great blending apple.
This one is beginning to exhibit water-core damage.
