Peasgood’s Nonsuch

Dual-use apple. Raised by Mrs. Peasgood of Grantham in 1853 and introduced in the 1870s by Thomas Laxton of Stamford. Received an RHS First Class Certificate in 1872. Can be very large in size. Very rounded in shape and with very smooth greenish-yellow skin that can have a dull orange flush and a few reddish stripes. Has always been a popular gardeners’ choice and exhibition apple. Cooks to a soft slightly acidic puree. Has good canker resistance. It is partially self-fertile so will set some fruit by itself. Having another same or different apple variety with the same or adjacent pollination group nearby will help cropping.
Flowering period C.
Pick mid Sept and use Sept to Dec.

Supplied on half-standard rootstock MM106, suitable to grow free-standing or as espalier or cordon (please add note to order if for formal training)
