May Queen Very late keeping extremely crunchy apple. Little information available from my books, first

more. Edward Bunyard wrote 'For the crunchers, whose youthful band I am still proud to join upon
occasion, there is May Queen, crisp and crackling, with a savour of nuts or almost of the earth in its
yellow flesh...'
