The ‘Greengage of Damson’. Native of the West Midlands. Small hedgerow damson – very reliable with intense flavour. Similar to the ‘Westmorland’ damson. (Shropshire 17th Century)
Small, yellowish-green, juicy fruit, reliable. Good cropper and self fertile. Prefers a sheltered warm site. Will cross pollinate with plums. (Cambridgeshire)
This variety is far more reliable than other Apricots producing masses of flower and very large fruit with a strong red blush on an orange background. An intense apricot flavour. (France)
Still the most revered of all white fleshed peaches. The flavour is intense and rich. Heavy cropping and suitable for sheltered situations. Freestone. (Rivers of Sawbridgeworth 1906)
Found on the side of the Malvern Hills, this variety is very hardy. Crops and performs well as a free standing tree or trained on walls where spring frosts can be avoided. (Worcs. 1985)
