'Discovery' Details Hybrid parentage Possibly 'Worcester Pearmain' × 'Beauty of Bath' Cultivar 'Discovery' Discovery is a dessert apple cultivar.
Worcester Pearmain, with possible Beauty of Bath cross[1].
With Worcester Pearmain as one of its parents, the fruits are typically similar in appearance to it, being small-medium in size, with small patches of yellow and largely flushed with crimson, sometimes completely covering the fruit[2], but tend to be slightly flatter.
The tree is a mid-season flowering variety, with fruits maturing relatively quickly, by August, and generally have good keeping qualities[2].
