• Laxton's Superb is essentially a Cox-style apple, but with an interesting twist in flavour inherited from its other parent Wyken Pippin, which had been popular since the 18th century but is now little known. The shape is much more upright than the flattened signature of Cox, and is reminiscent of Adams Pearmain.
• It is partially self-fertile. For better fruiting plant a compatible partner: Braeburn, Cornish Aromatic, Discovery, Elstar, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Greensleeves, Grenadier, Howgate Wonder, James Grieve, Katy, Malus Evereste, Malus Golden Hornet, Malus John Downie, Pitmaston Pine Apple, Red Devil, Spartan, Worcester Pearmain
• The leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid-June onwards. This is not a disease but is mainly due to this year’s contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.
