  • About
Apples and pears can be kept through to the spring without any need to bottle or freeze them. In general, early-maturing varieties will not keep long and should be used quickly. Late-maturing varieties will store for a long time however, and some of the best are:

Eating apples. Blenheim Orange, Cox’s Orange Pippin, Laxton’s Superb, Ribston Pippin and Sturmer Pippin.

Cooking apples. Annie Elizabeth, Bramley’s Seedling, Edward VII, Lane’s Prince Albert, Newton Wonder.

Pears. Catillac, Glous Morceau, Josephine de Malines, Winter Nelis.
