Malus domestica 'Peasgood's Nonsuch'

Highly esteemed in Victorian times this cooking apple was raised by a Mrs Peasgood of Grantham, Linconshire in the mid 19th century. The fruits are large and particularly handsome with pale green skin covered in broken red stripes and an orange flush. Cooks down to a deliciously flavoured purée, slightly acid yet quite sweet. Excellent for baking. Heavy cropping. The tree is resistant to mildew and moderately resistant to scab.

Pollination: Group B.

Season: mid Sept - Dec.

Available for delivery: late November/December - early May.

Culinary apples are those that can be cooked with. They tend to be larger than dessert apples and are not immediately edible – unless you like your apple very tart. The ‘cooking’ process makes all the difference; the result is a change to texture and a mellowing of flavour that is perfect for pies and tarts. Dual-purpose apples are those that can be cooked early in the season but become sweeter in storage, making them suitable for dessert use from late winter onwards.

Our apple trees are grafted onto M26 semi-dwarfing rootstock, which will produce a tree that is easy to grow, easy to control and easy to pick. Bush apple trees will grow 2.4-3.6m (8-12ft) in height and spread. Unless otherwise stated, apples are supplied as two year old bare root trees and will be 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) high on despatch (including the roots). If you require one year old maiden trees for training as an espalier or fan, please advise us when ordering. Trees are available from late November to early late April.
