The message
from "Mike Lyle" contains these words:

Those are by no means the largest specimens.

Ugly buggers. Hope they taste good.


They do, both as slightly tart eaters, and cookers, where they render
rather like Bramleys.

The cavities in the core are large and open, making it very easy to
remove the fingernaily bits and leave the flesh between them - no waste
- just the pips, the stalk, a small pile of hard flakes instead of the
core, and if you don't eat it, the skin.

My plan (ATM) is to get one bare root rootstock tree and bud and/or
graft some on to it, and some other favoured varieties to make a family
tree, and with the others, grow the cuttings on and if necessary graft
them onto rootstock cuttings, and replace an unkempt Lonicera hedge with
fruit trees, in an arrangement somewhere between cordons and layering.

I've a Hunza apricot to go in it, and there will be more, I hope.

AnnIwanna quince.
