Editorial Note: This source provides minimal physical detail. The designation "Russetting" in the name suggests a rough, russeted skin texture typical of the period, but Coxe's text does not elaborate on color, specific shape, cavity/calyx structure, flavor, or flesh characteristics. For fuller identification guidance, additional period sources describing this variety would be needed. If you have access to other Coxe entries or contemporary pomologies mentioning Evesham Russetting, those would help complete the physical description.
