Description
Known and loved world-wide, it was raised about 1780 in Normandy, France by M Longueval, and named after Mme Longueval by the Abbe Berryais. (Although other sources say that the English name arose because it arrived via the Channel Islands). Quite a vigorous tree, that produces wonderful small fruit which are sweet, juicy and with a flavour to rival Doyenne de Comice. Very heavy crops, can require thinning, and an excellent garden variety. Known to produce some parthenocarpic fruit.For help with choosing the correct rootstock for your needs, please click here A Guide to Rootstocks
