Kingston Black Apple
The Kingston Black Apple, also known as "Black Taunton", is a cultivar of apple originating from the United Kingdom. It is often used in making cider. The name of the cultivar comes from the apples' dark red or purplish skin, though despite the name, the fruit does not have a black hue.〔(Kingston Black - Apple - Fruit Trees - Keepers Nursery - possibly the largest range of fruit trees and soft fruit plants in the world )〕
==History==
The apple was first grown in orchards around the parish of Kingston St Mary in Somerset, whose inhabitants referred to it simply as the "black apple".〔Lawrence, B. ''Quantock Country'', 1952, p. 60〕
Kingston Black is capable of making a distinctive single-variety cider,〔Copas, L. ''Somerset Pomona'', 2001, p. 45〕 and its value in cidermaking meant that by the early 19th century it became more well known. By 1950 the Long Ashton Research Station referred to it as "more widely grown than any other cider apple" in the West of England.〔''Annual Report'' of the Long Ashton Research Station, 1950, p.186〕 Despite this popularity, one former Long Ashton staff member wrote that many thought the variety's fame as a vintage quality apple was "somewhat exaggerated",〔 and Hogg quoted a Taunton nurseryman as stating that Kingston Black "of itself makes a thin cider, but a few only communicate a high colour to other ciders".〔Hogg, R. ''The Fruit Manual: A Guide to the Fruits and Fruit Trees of Great Britain'', 1884, p.260〕
In later years use of Kingston Black declined in commercial orchards due to the variety's tendency to poor cropping and its susceptibility to canker and apple scab.
