One of the most famous and sought after of the many ‘Pearmains’, First recorded in 1893 but very difficult to obtain now. Always known as one of the most excitingly flavoured varieties, the partly russetted, circular, moderately sized fruits have a deep, rich flavour which makes storage of the fruits a severe test of willpower! For harvesting early October and eating November-January, this variety is appropriately, probably at its very best around Christmas time.







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.
