It is known for its distinctive flavor and is often considered one of the best-tasting apples available. The apple is named after its breeder, Rev. Charles Ellison, who developed the variety in the early 20th century.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Ellison's Orange was first cultivated in the early 1900s by Rev. Charles Ellison in [[Lincolnshire]], England. It is believed to be a cross between the [[Cox's Orange Pippin]] and the [[Calville Blanc d'Hiver]]. The apple gained popularity due to its unique taste and excellent storage properties.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Ellison's Orange apples are medium-sized with a round to conical shape. The skin is smooth and has a yellow-green base color with a red flush and some russeting. The flesh is creamy white, juicy, and has a complex flavor that combines sweetness with a hint of aniseed.<br />
<br />
==Cultivation==<br />
Ellison's Orange is a hardy variety that can be grown in a range of climates. It is particularly well-suited to temperate regions. The tree is vigorous and has a spreading habit. It is also known for its resistance to common apple diseases such as [[apple scab]] and [[powdery mildew]].<br />
<br />
===Pollination===<br />
Ellison's Orange is a partially self-fertile variety, but it benefits from cross-pollination with other apple varieties. Suitable pollinators include [[James Grieve]], [[Egremont Russet]], and [[Discovery (apple)|Discovery]].<br />
<br />
==Uses==<br />
Ellison's Orange is primarily used as a [[dessert apple]] due to its excellent flavor. It can also be used in cooking and baking, where it retains its shape and flavor well. The apple is also suitable for making [[apple cider]].<br />
<br />
==Storage==<br />
Ellison's Orange apples have good storage properties and can be kept for several months in a cool, dry place. The flavor often improves after a few weeks of storage.<br />
