It shows good disease resistance and is an excellent pollinator.Lord Lambourne – Once assessed by ‘Gardening from Which?’ as the best all-round British garden apple, this is indeed a superb mid-season variety. The crisp, firm fruits are bursting with sweet juice! Ready to pick from September, they will keep well until Christmas!Braeburn (Clone Helena) – Braeburn is one of the best-selling varieties in Britain and can now (thanks to this earlier cropping new clone) be grown very successfully in UK gardens. Pick from mid October and store for up to 4 months without losing the superb crisp texture!Bramley (Clone 20) – It’s 200 years since this most famous cooking apple was discovered.
