What would a greengrocer say if you were to ask for half a dozen
Grenadiers and a couple of Catsheads? In the course of the past
century we have lost much of our rich heritage of orchard fruits,
but with taste once again triumphing over shelf-life and a renewed
interest in local varieties, we are rediscovering the delights of
that most delicious and adaptable fruit: the apple. This book
features apples from the Herefordshire Pomona that are still
cultivated today. The Pomona - an exquisitely illustrated book of
apples and pears - was published at the height of the Victorian era
by a small rural naturalists' club. Its beautiful illustrations and
authoritative text are treasured by book collectors and apple
experts alike. From the familiar Blenheim Orange and Worcester
Pearmain to the less feted yet scrumptious Ribston Pippin, Margil
and Pitmaston Pine Apple, Heritage Apples is illustrated with the
Pomona's stunning paintings and tells the intriguing stories behind
each variety, how they acquired their names, and their merits for
eating, cooking or making cider. Also including practical advice on
how to choose and grow your own trees, this is the perfect book for
apple-lovers and growers.
