King of Pippin's Apple Tree Hermitage near Warwick

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

King of the Pippins or Reine de Reinettes (French) is an old cultivar of domesticated apple originating from France, and is still used in its original form as well as in many derivative cultivars that have been bred from it. It was also formerly known as Golden Winter Pearmain, because of its ripening period at late fall. Unlike most apple cultivars it is slightly self-fertile.
