Apple

Apples were a common fruit on Earth.

There were different varieties of apple, which included St Edmunds Pippin, Mère de Ménage, Catshead, Ribston Pippin, Ashmead's Kernel, Mannington's Pearman, Lodgemore Nonpareil, Devonshire Quarrenden, Cox's Orange Pippin and Golden Delicious. They could be green, red or a dusty grey, small, large or lumpy. According to Jack Harkness, one variety was lemony, and one was sweet and juicy with a taste of mango. (PROSE: Slow Decay)
