This Yorkshire raised variety has a certain fame and is one of the older varieties we still get asked for. It is heavy cropping and relaible and particularlt recommended for Northern areas. The fruits ripen to a pale yellow with some russet dots and are not overly large but sweet and juicy. They can be enjoyed throughout October.
Pollinators include Improved Fertility, Josephine de Malines, Doyenne du Comice, Concorde, Winter Nellis and Invincible.







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.
