This apple and pear tree collection consists of 3 popular self-fertile varieties, suitable for growing countrywide, 1 each of the following:
Apple 'Katy'
This very attractive dessert apple was raised from a cross between two of our favourite British apples - James Grieve and Worcester Pearmain. It produces heavy crops of medium sized bright red fruits with a firm, finely textured flesh. Sweet and very juicy with a refreshing flavour, sometimes characterised with a hint of strawberry. Very popular with children but also an excellent variety for juicing as it produces beautiful pink juice. Easy to grow, very disease resistant and suitable for cooler areas. Season: Sept - early Oct.
Apple 'Pinova'
This trouble free dessert apple is an excellent choice for the garden. With Cox in its parentage, it is no surprise that it has a wonderful Cox-like flavour, but it stores much better and is very resistant to scab. It crops heavily and can be grown countrywide. Season: Oct - Feb.
Pear 'Concorde'
An excellent pear often grown commercially and suitable for most locations. Raised from a cross between Doyenné du Comice and Conference, it has inherited the best attributes from both its parents. The medium-large pale green fruits have a smooth, juicy flesh with a sweet pleasant flavour. Suitable for dessert and culinary use. Crops heavily and reliably from an early age. Season: Oct - Jan. Self-fertile.
