The fruits are ready for picking mid September onwards – and suitable for eating throughout October. The fruits are medium large, round, conical, greenish yellow with an orange and red flush and stripes. The skin is thin and tender, and the flesh creamy white, tender and very juicy. The flavour is exceptional. A heavy and regular cropper, that is superb when eaten straight from the tree. The trees are moderately vigorous, upright and then spreading. A very popular garden variety that always does well with the advantage that it also excels in the north. An excellent choice for a difficult site, except in the humid west, where it can be prone to canker. Hardy and adaptable elsewhere. Suitable pollinators are: Greensleeves and Coxs Orange.







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.
