Chris starts with ... I first tried these last year and they are in season now. They are a favourite apple here, not that I've tried many of the non commercial heritage varieties. They are a cross between the sweet and firm Royal Gala and the tart and crisp Braeburn apple. I would like to grow one but the problem is that it is protected by PBR. Question: Is there any chance home gardeners will be able to buy them? Or will we have to wait 25 years for the protection time limit to lapse? I hope not! If any one knows where one can buy a tree please let us know. | About the Author Chris Sydney 16th April 2011 11:40am #UserID: 2281 Posts: |
kert says... I accepted the critique of "modern" apples and have grown 8 heritage vaieties. Sadly they are not nearly as good as say Glden Deicious , Pink Lady, or Jonathan. Doubtless someone will spring to their defence and ,if so, can thay name names and indicate if their experience is first hand. | About the Author kert sydney 16th April 2011 3:18pm #UserID: 0 Posts: |
