A Foggy Fenland Orchard

The last couple of days have been cold and  foggy and the orchards have been swathed in fog, lovely and atmospheric. The leaves are still clinging to the old Bramleys making for an autumnal scene but the Worcesters are completely bare now.

Such different views to that of the Idared apples at the beginning of the month

Worcester Pearmain Apple ~ Blossom Walk

Walk through an English orchard full of blossom with The Orchard Year 's virtual blossom tour.

An early season apple Worcester Pearmain originates, as you might guess by the name, from Worcester in England where it was developed in the 1870s.

Worcester Painmain is a popular apple with its' distinctive strawberry flavour which deepens the longer the apple is left on the tree before picking.

Worcester Pearmain has been used as the basis for a  number of breeding programmes resulting in many  varieties of apple including Discovery.
