Prized fruits in the medieval period, then again in Elizabethan England and redicovered in recent times with the resurgence of interest in more unusual foods.

Attractive trees with long leaves, dog-rose like single flowers and good autumn colour

Fruits are like large russet rose hips and are eaten only after having been stored for some time to allow the pulp within to soften - a process known as 'bletting'

'Royal' is considered the best flavoured variety and makes a more upright small tree - ideal for a specimen in a lawn or shrubbery
