The message
from Edwin Spector contains these words:

At an Apple Day last weekend, I got Winter Gem recommended as an excellent
keeper. I liked the apple - quite rich and firm. That was at Highfield
Nurseries, Whitminster, Glos. (No interest to declare). I may even
fork out the
dosh for one.

Thanks for this Edwin. I have actually got Winter Gem, although it
hasn't fruited yet, so I can't comment on whether it lives up to its
billing. Another late keeper I have is Tydeman's Late Orange which had
one apple this year!
