'Cellini' is an apple cultivar that was selected from a seed of a tree referred to as 'Nonsuch', though that name is ambiguous.[1] It was introduced in about 1828 by Leonard Phillips, who operated a nursery at Vauxhall, London.[1] It is a soft-textured cooking apple, juicy and coarse-textured. This cultivar is a parent of several other successful apple cultivars.[1]
