Caudal Market (Tree no:2)

This Oxford-raised cultivar features a crisp, coarse flesh with a distinctly acidic edge. Can taste quite tart.

Claygate Pearmain (Tree no: 7)

Firm, crackly-crisp and notably juicy. The flavour is rich, aromatic and sweet, with citrus, spice, tropical or nutty undertones - considered a splendid dessert apple and stores well. 

Deddington Golden (Tree no:9)

Heritage apple -so rare that we can't find any info on it. Tell us what you think!

Foulkes Foremost (Tree no: 17)

Heritage apple -so rare that we can't find any info on it. Tell us what you think!

Egremont Russet (Tree no: 28)

A classic Victorian russet, offering firm, slightly dry—but moist-sounding—flesh. Flavours lean toward nutty and delicate, with citrus or butterscotch accents. Wonderful fresh and a lovely match for cheese. 

Laxton Superb (Tree no: 30)

Dense, sweet and Cox-like with a hint of anise. The flesh is firm but not overly juicy—fine-textured and long-keeping, making it an excellent eating apple. 

Old Oxford (Tree no: 32)

Heritage apple -so rare that we can't find any info on it. Tell us what you think!

Pear Beth (Tree no: 37)

An early-season dessert pear, sweet, juicy, with meltingly smooth flesh. Best eaten fresh—cooking isn’t advisable, as its tender flesh tends to fall apart. 

Early Victoria (Tree no: 43)

A pale-fleshed, conical apple prized for cooking. It bakes down into a fluffy, mildly sweet puree—think soufflé-like texture. 

Orleans Reinette (Tree no: 61)

A russet-skinned apple with creamy, nutty flesh and a beautiful balance of sweetness and sharpness. Great both fresh and cooked. 

Pitmaston Pineapple (Tree no: 65)

Small and golden, this dessert apple delivers honey-sweet, nutty flesh with a sharp lift—and yes, a distinct pineapple-like note for which it's famously named. 

Starmer Pippin (Tree no:66)

A late-season dessert apple, crisp and juicy with a balanced sweetness and a touch of sharpness. At peak ripeness it’s firm, succulent, and rich in flavour—some compare it to Cox in style.
