Discovery is a dessert apple cultivar.

Worcester Pearmain, with possible Beauty of Bath cross^[1].

With Worcester Pearmain as one of its parents, the fruits are typically similar in appearance to it, being small-medium in size, with small patches of yellow and largely flushed with crimson, sometimes completely covering the fruit^[2], but tend to be slightly flatter.

The tree is a mid-season flowering variety, with fruits maturing relatively quickly, by August, and generally have good keeping qualities^[2].
