Sharp · 1 trees planted · confidence low
A Somerset sharp cider apple and heavy cropper, valued for supplying acidity to blends dominated by low-acid bittersweets. The juice is described as mild-sharp with good sugar content, and the fruit is crisp and juicy enough to eat fresh in October. Makes a vigorous, spreading tree.
Disease: No published disease ratings found in any source.
Discrepancies: Cross-check failed to produce a second substantive source. Absent from the WSU database, absent from the Long Ashton compositional tables, and absent from Orange Pippin — the only real source is one UK nursery listing, with a cider blog confirming the variety exists and has been pressed as a vintage single-varietal. No bloom group, SG, tannin or disease data exists anywhere, so those are recorded null or as sharp-class defaults rather than guessed. Also worth flagging a naming trap: Lambrook Pippin is unrelated to Dabinett despite Dabinett having been found at Middle Lambrook, South Petherton — same locality, different variety. Confidence is low and should stay low until the owner can supply nursery provenance.
