Deans Hill Orchard, Chepstow
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Deans Hill Orchard, Chepstow Six of the ten apple and pear trees planted on Deans Hill in January 2009. The planting was organised by Transition Chepstow, working with local residents and Chepstow Town Council who purchased the trees. The initiative aims to help restore the apple growing tradition of Chepstow and increase the community's local food growing capabilities. Varieties planted include, Brith Mawr (no info available); Monmouth Green (grown in Black Mountains since Victorian times but variety could be far older; also known as Landore in Herefordshire; dual purpose eater/cooker; late fruiting); King Coffee (eater; late fruiting Nov-Dec); Cissy (Eating apple); Cornish Aromatic (late fruiting Dec-Feb; old fashioned from Cornwall) Introduced in 1813 to England - tolerates wet climate, flavour rich with a hint of pineapple; easy to grow and resistant to main apple diseases). Pear varieties ( 2 trees) are: Beurre Bedford (dessert pear; fruits in Oct; large very juicy firm-fleshed; origin Bedfordshire 1902; pollination group E); Louise Bonne of Jersey (attractive dessert pear with an excellent, distinctive, slightly acid flavour; fruits in Oct-Nov; origin France 1780; pollination group C). |
