Description

First grown at Melrose Abbey in the Borders of Scotland, and recorded in 1831 - but may have been grown there as far back as the 17th C. This hardy and heavy cropping variety is a good early cooker with an outstanding flavour, that keeps some shape when cooked. The fruit are pale green in appearance, fading to yellow on the sunny side, and with a tender and juicy flesh.
