Manks Codlin is an early cultivar selected from the domesticated apple that were growing at Isle of Man. It has many other names, including 'Winter Saint Lawrence' and 'Eva'.[1][2] It first fruited in 1815.[1] This cultivar is considered particularly cold hardy and well suited to exposed sites and poor soils.
This cultivar produces heavy crops of medium-sized fruit, which ripen to a clear pale yellow with occasional red flush. They have firm, white flesh which has a delicate flavor when cooked.
Manks Codlin is specifically recommended for baking.
