Mere Pippin (15-Feb.)
Found at the roadside in Mere, Wiltshire, near Warminster. This is a very late apple which can stay on the tree, amazingly, until February, in good condition .It has a most unusual flavour; very little acidity, and an interesting hint of tropical fruit - perhaps custard apple - in its aftertaste and aroma. The flesh is unusually white, and very firm; falling fruit don't bruise.
