Afal Enlli/Bardsey Island apple!

We've had this Apple in the orchard for a number years now. it was once marketed as The World's Rarest Apple?

Lots of myths and legends surround the Bardsey Island apple,

The apple is a survivor of an earlier monastic orchard. The monks of Bardsey may have brought the apple from their Normandy homelands?

The apple is directly descended from the one given to Adam by Eve?

The tree bears Merlin?s Apple. The magician Merlin is buried in a glass casket deep inside a cave on Bardsey. When he awakes the apple will nourish him.?

I like the idea that it's connected to Merlin and King Arthur!

This is probably the best year it's had with lots of fruit on it!
