Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

This semi-dwarf variety is a beautiful ornamental tree, perfect for any garden size, yielding a plentiful harvest of tasty, russet-coloured fruits.
Enjoy eye-catching foliage that transforms into warm golden-orange hues in autumn.
A unique fruit that requires 'bletting' – a traditional process of over-ripening after harvest until soft and ready to eat.
The fruits are an excellent choice for making delicious homemade jams and jellies.
A small tree full of character, cherished since medieval times and even mentioned in Shakespeare's works.
Your tree is professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage robust, bushy growth and a well-shaped form.
