A late 19th century heritage apple variety, believed to have originated in Australia or New Zealand, and named after the German 'Iron Chancellor'. It is a culinary or cooking apple. http://www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/full2.php?id=570&&fruit=apple Hill Close Gardens preserve many old pear and apple cultivars which are at risk of falling out of cultivation or even of becoming extinct, often owing to changes in fashion rather than shortcomings in the plants and fruits themselves. Maintaining genetic diversity is an important task of heritage gardens. https://hillclosegardens.com/plants/flowers-fruit-and-vegetables/
