Apples, Plums, Damsons
Cookers, Eaters, Juice & Cider
- Local & Heritage -
We hope you like our apples, plums and damsons. All of them have been chosen for their taste, flavour, heritage and if they are endangered.
See below to find out which ones are best for eating, cooking, making juice (or cider)
- and many of them can be used for both cooking & eaten fresh from the tree.
Even further down the page we've put a list of the oldest trees and which ones come from Derbyshire & Yorkshire
and you can go to our other page to see pictures and read the fascinating stories behind their origins.
