Martin Nonpareil is a dessert apple with pale green skin that turns quite yellow with russet dots spread over its surface. It’s flesh is rich, juicy and sweet.
This variety arose in the village of Martin Hussingtree just north of Worcester around 1795. However despite its qualities it became on of Worcestershire’s lost varieties.
However Martin Nonpareil was rediscovered in 2012 after an article in the Martin Hussingtree parish magazine a pair of old trees in a cottage garden came to light and the fruit matched the historical descriptions and illustrations.
Another apple that was refound in the 1990’s that we regularly grow is Chatley’s Kernel, of the village of Chatley again near Worcester.
Being recently revived and little available information we are not certain of some of its attributes ie pollination group, when is keeps until – said to be until March.
