For picking mid October and eating until late November but, with good storage, this variety will keep much longer. The medium sized fruits are long, dark green, changing to yellow-green with a brown russet. The flesh is creamy white and sometimes has a slightly pinkish tinge. The pleasant flavour is juicy and sweet. A very regular and heavy cropper that is partially self fertile, so if you are growing only one variety, this is the one for you. The trees are moderately vigorous, upright and fairly compact. Although self fertile, pollinators always improve the quality of the crop. Suitable pollinators are.. Onward, Louise Bonne de Jersey, Beth, Durondeau, Invincible etc.







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.
