SpartanThe Spartan is an all around favourite as it has a simple sweetness and satisfying crunch. Spartans can remain on the tree longer which allows them time to develop deeper flavour and their characteristic plum-red hue. A medium sized variety produced by crossing McIntosh with Newton. Crisp white flesh and unusually small core, perfect for school lunches.
