Sugar 13%, acid 13g/litre, vitamin C 12mg/100g. 'Beauty of Bath' is a very early apple usually cropping in August but can crop as early as July (e.g. in 2011) or last into September. It bruises easily, so is best picked by hand. Fruits can drop early by themselves, often when not completely ripe. Traditionally, straw was placed under the trees to lessen damage to falling fruit. * Beauty of Bath (LA 63A) apple, cross-sectioned. *
