Having said the above there is a West Country costard that

Hmmm.

Want!

Me too! Brian, don't leave us in suspense.


I don't find Charles Ross a 'Vast' apple~~ some can be twice the
size but non-commercial.

Well, the two Charles Ross trees we had in the garden when I was an
anklebiter had apples which were up to six inches across. These
cookers
are almost as large and on a very old and neglected tree.

Those are by no means the largest specimens.

Ugly buggers. Hope they taste good.
