Tom Putt is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Trent, Dorset, England (before 1800). It was grown primarily for cider, cooking. Small to medium, flat and irregularly shaped apple. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with 2 watercolour studies (1838–1840), painted by Deborah Griscom Passmore and William Henry Prestele, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
