Yes the keeping quality I believe was about 5 minutes the time it took to
eat.

Unfortunately a couple of days was about its limit but what a feast.

I have never seen them in catalogues which is quite a shame .

I think I read that this variety fell out of favour due to its poor
(non-existant) keeping qualities. However, a colleague _might_ have an
old,
condemned tree in his garden, so I may try grafting a bit. Trouble is that
he's
not sure of the variety.
