Apple growing in and around Sandwich, Kent, benefits from the region’s fertile soil and mild climate, which is ideal for growing apple trees. Several varieties of apples are grown here, including ‘Bramley’, ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’ and ‘Egremont Russet’, which are renowned for their excellent flavour and keeping qualities. Growing techniques include careful pruning and planting trees with plenty of space for air circulation to help prevent disease. Harvesting usually takes place in late summer to autumn, with the apples being consumed both fresh and used to make cider, a popular drink in the region.
