Apple Famiy Tree - (Howgate Wonder, James Grieve & Peasgood Nonsuch )

ESTIMATED TO BE READY IN AUTUMN

Our family trees are a clever way of growing more fruit in a small place as they have three varieties of apple grafted on one tree!  

We have selected three varieties that will work together in terms of pollination and vigour to achieve a lovely balanced shape and to fill the fruit bowl.

Howgate Wonder

Howgate Wonder produces huge apples of excellent quality.  One apple will feed a family!  A cross between Newton Wonder and Blenheim Orange.  The tree is hardy and reliable, originating from the Isle of Wight and introduced c1915.  The apples will store well into Spring and break down completely when cooked.

James Grieve

Raised by James Grieve in Edinburgh, Scotland and introduced by his employers, Dickson’s nurserymen. Fruits have sweet, delicious, juicy flesh with a good refreshing flavour.  A good apple to store but the fruits will become softer as they are stored.

Peasgood Nonsuch 

A real customer favourite!  Raised by Mrs Peasgood at Stamford, Lincolnshire, England from seed sown in about 1858. Received First Class Certificate from Royal Horticultural Society in 1872. The large, attractive fruits are moderately juicy, crunchy and sweet. Delicious eaten fresh from the tree but also cook exceptionally well.   Self-fertile

Three incredible Dual purpose apples, offering diversity and versatility.  The choice is yours on whether you prefer to eat them fresh, cook or even juice them!
