Description
This variety was discovered at Ribston Hall near Knaresborough, and is thought to have come from a seed taken there from Normandy in 1688, and given to Sir Henry Goodricke. The first tree blew down in 1810 but did not die until 1835, when a young shoot sprouted and survived until a gale in 1928. The fruit that we offer is a direct descendent of this. The tree is a good cropper being hardy and prolific throughout northern Europe and The fruit is of excellent quality, with an intense, rich aromatic flavour, and firm juicy deep cream flesh.For help with choosing the correct rootstock for your needs, please click here A Guide to Rootstocks
