A Super variety once widely grown for its indescribably rich flavour but suffered a decline in popularity in the’30s. It deserves to be resurrected again now! A King of the Pippins, Cox cross with medium sized conical pale yellow fruits flushed with brownish red. The creamy coloured flesh has an intense fruity flavour with is at its best from Christmas onwards. It cooks very well prior to this with a sweet but not bland flavour. It is a good cropper but specimens in northern areas do not always produce well flavoured fruits. Pollinate with: Sunset, Discovery Alkmene, Redsleeves, Grenadier etc.Photo courtesy of Clifford Cain







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
