| As a young boy I was often sent to queue for whatever people were standing in line for, be it potatoes, carrots, of other vegetables. We did not see bananas, oranges, grapes or lemons, etc., from 1939 until a year or so after the war ended in 1945. Just now and again I was able to get a few apples. They were shaped like a pig's snout and my mother told me they were Morgan's Sweet. Oh! Boy! I would certainly queue for a pound of 'em now! It's more than nostalgia. It's not because we were deprived of fruit, especially apples that I loved the Morgan's Sweet. They had a flavour once tasted could never be forgotten. I enjoy Spartan apples nowadays, but they too have such a short season.. Please could some kind orchard keeper contact me in September when his/her Morgan's Sweet will be available. I'll pay over the odds for a couple of pounds, plus postage. Thanks. M.L. | ||

| I have several huge ancient Morgan Sweet trees in South Somerset, and I get visitors every autumn who have childhood nostalgia for the taste. They don't have any redness about them, similar to a golden delicious in appearance. They ripen quite early, in September at the latest and used to be biennial, though mine seem to be fruiting every year this decade. Very vigorous, they're been mistaken for perry pear trees and grew to about forty feet high till we decided to crop a winter's firewood by bringing the highest branches down to ten feet from the ground. They took that in their stride and are now thriving, despite being hollow-trunked and full of mistletoe. They were very mature trees in photos taken in the 1940s, I think they must be about 100 years old now. Showerings used to take the fruit for Babycham in the 50s. | ||
