Envy - a photo on Flickriver

Envy

Marks and Spencer currently stock these Envy apples. I havent seen them in previous years but I may just not have noticed.

I think they are very good indeed (but are imported from New Zealand). Not the cheapest either, They are amazingly sweet and crisp and with, I think, an ever so slight, toffee flavour.

I am intrigued by them and so turned to the web to investigate. It seems "Envy" is a marketing/trade name for an apple variety called Scilate :

pomiferous.com/applebyname/scilate-id-5803

it is a modern Gala x Braeburn cross. Developed in New Zealand and patented in 2008.

looking further (and thinking about growing a single tree) it does seem to be reasonably hardy but I cant see a supplier in Ireland or UK yet - I can see that it does seem to be commercially available in France.
