The Leicestershire Heritage Apple Project is collecting information on apples that are unique to the county and their website has photos and descriptions of them. Nigel Deacon and Melanie Wilson are also selling a dozen Leicestershire varieties on MM106 rootstock such as Martin’s Costard, St Ailred, Leicester Burton Pippin.
We are still researching the orchards, produce, and nurseries of Leicestershire. Can you help? Please let us know if you are aware of local orchards, varieties, or dishes, good products and the places that sell them.
