The Tree of the Gennet Moyle grows very
vigorously large leaves and branches.
The fruit is of midling size, yellow skin with some
specks of red and cloudy spots of black.
The flesh is firm, rich, yellow and sprightly, &
of a pleasant flavor.  The shape of the apple
rather flat than long, stalk small and planted
in a deep hollow, skin not perfectly smooth.
The Gennet Moyle is ranked among the fine old cider
apples of England, fruit ripens in October.
