Winter Gem is a superb introduction to our range and is proving to be an excellent variety for garden use, hardy and suitable for planting in all areas, and generally trouble free. It is a heavy and reliable cropper with highly attractive rich pink blushed fruits which have a distinctly rich juicy, crisply sweet flavour no doubt inherited from its Cox parentage. Winter Gem is a superb keeper. Ready for picking October and may be used at least until the end of March. Winter Gem is an easily grown and very rewarding variety which has performed well on all rootstocks and training methods but has been especially impressive as a Supercolumn. Highly recommended. Suitable pollinators include: Redsleeves, James Grieve, Sunset, Falstaff, Fiesta 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.
