Exciting news, I’ve just
been asked by Radio Solent to take part in a feature about a brand new variety
of Apple called Little Pax, that we will be stocking in all our Garden Centres
this Autumn.
It’s a wonderful story
about a rare original tree that was gifted to the Nuns at St Cecilia’s, a
Benedictine Abbey in the Isle
of Wight. It had grown and
flourished for many years there and Frank Matthews, one of our favourite
British Tree growers have now propagated enough to enable us to offer them for
sale.

The Little Pax is a perfect
late season delicious sweet dessert apple with hints of melon and champagne!!
It produces an abundance of orchid – like pink and vivid white flowers in
Spring, making it perfect for attracting bees and wildlife into your garden.
During the Summer it develops rich reddish pink apples with rose red flecks and
gradually turns in Autumn with shades of soft yellow. For every plant sold a
charitable donation will be made to help with the upkeep of St Cecilia’s Abbey.
The feature will be going
out on Sunday the 24th August in the morning, so have a listen!
