Brown Snout is a strictly cider variety that produces a bittersweet cider.  The fruit is smallish with greenish-yellow skin.  It oftens has a patch of russet at the blossom end that identifies it by its name.  Susceptible to fire blight.  Late ripening in October to November.

Brown Snout got its name from is appearance--- brown russeting on its calyx end.  It was discovered in 1850 in England.

Many heirloom varieties have some natural resistance to apple scab and other diseases, since they were often discovered and grown well before fruit growers started to use chemicals for disease control. However, you may still want to be vigilant about fire blight, apple scab, and other fungal diseases and spray when the need arises. Protect from insect damage like normal.
