  Huge, good for juicing, when ripe is an excellent dessert apple though too big for individual serving. Cooks to sweet fluff (no sugar needed if ripe)

  We have a dozen of these on dwarf rootstock and all but one produce a heavy crop of big apples every year. Biggest to date weighed 964 gms, or a little over 2 lbs! Average is over half that. Very tasty and sweet enough to eat as an eater, but so big you need to share it with others. Lovely baked, one apple between 2 people. Dries very well in a dehydrator and we stew and freeze large volumes every year so I have some for breakfast 365 days of the year.

  We have a tree in our small orchard. It produces a large crop. This is primarily a cooking apple, and turns to a froth as it cooks. Wonderful for "baked apples". It was developed in Lincolnshire, England, by my Great-grandmother. So I feel privileged to have this tree. I have pictures of the original apples that were sent to the Royal Horticulture Soc, when the apples were first shown and named.

  I live in the tiny town of Makikihi in New Zealand and have three fully Matured Trees on my property. Great crop this year, but I am allergic to Apples! Any buyers??

  very fresh, crisp, juicy apple. Relatively bug free and hangs on tree until late in the season. Fruit is just the right size for children, easy to espalier.

  Have just had a tree of Peasgood's Nonsuch identified in our garden. Absolutely delighted to find such an old species. Just needs pruning and hopefully that will mean better crop next season.

  Found a tree growing in the old DVLA test centre car park three years ago and have grafted a number of rootstocks since. My wife laughed when I said it was the nicest Apple I'd ever tasted but I've lost count of the number of people who have agreed with me since.
