Tremlett's Bitter is a classic, bitter-sweet hard cider variety.  The medium sized fruit is firm and the juice is bittersweet.  Great for blending.  It blooms very early and requires another early pollinator.  Ripens over a two week period in October.  It is scab tolerant.

Alternate Names:  Tramlett's Bitter, Tremblett's Bitter

Tremlett's Bitter was described in England and grown there since the late 1800s.

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.
