This red striped apple with yellow/green background is very popular in the UK, it’s easy to grow and also handles well. Very crisp, sweet and juicy, with a slight tartness.
A widely grown red striped apple with pale green background. Known for its aromatic sweet taste, this is an easy eating apple.
The first apple to ever be trademarked, an extremely appealing bi-coloured apple with pink crisp thin skin. Has a sweet almost tart taste and is often described as having a fizz!
Distinctive deep red apple with light green background. It’s particularly popular with kids due to its “eat me” like appearance. It has a very sweet taste similar at times to pineapple.
This apple has possibly the best taste of any dessert apple, however it is notoriously difficult to grow and also has poor storage qualities. Its unique taste when caught at the right times has hints of pear, orange, melon - just an array of flavour.
An old classic but perhaps waning in poularity, but still a prominent apple in the UK due to its storing qualities. When caught at optimum times it has a refreshing, crisp almost caramel sweetness that’s hard to beat.
Perhaps Australia’s most famous export (even before Fosters) this apple has a very hardy, thick, crisp skin, with a mild tart taste and is excellent for cooking.
So easily recognisable due to its bold large, non-uniformed shape with a bright green appearance. The perfect cooking apple, which, when cooked, becomes light and fluffy. Is ideal for pies, tarts chutneys and many more uses.
This apple is a modern take on the Golden Delicious. It perhaps has the best chance to succeed in UK markets due to its golden/green background with amazing orange blush. A very refreshing fruit, it combines a thin, crisp bite with a delicate, sweet, almost syrup like taste.
A block red high coloured apple. As the colour suggests, the fruit has a “deep” flavour with a wonderful sweetness combined with a crisp, clean bite. Its striking colour should help with its quest for popularity in the UK apple market.
A distinctive heart shaped apple with a blush red foreground and a cream background. This apple already has a strong following in the UK but has a little way to go to become mainstream. Its characteristics include a great texture and an intense sweet flavour with no tartness or acidity.
Perhaps truly the new kid on the block, with very little tonnage available. There is a lot expected of this apple, with its yellow appearance and slight blush, combined with its firm texture and intense strawberry like sweetness, it’s a break from the more common bi-coloured varieties.
The most popular of pear varieties. With an easily recognisable elongated shape and deep green colour. It has a wonderful, light, sweet and juicy taste.
Perhaps not the most aesthetically perfect pear, with a green bumpy skin that turns yellow upon ripening. The taste however far outweighs the slightly odd look, as it has a succulent and rich flavour. The fruit is best when ripened, which may take between 3 and 7 days at room temperature.
The most commonly grown variety of pear. It is common in UK supermarkets in cans as well as fresh. A green elongated pear with a smooth green skin which turns yellow when ripe and ready. It’s seen by some as the “definitive” pear taste and it’s wonderfully sweet, juicy and aromatic.
The perfect pear for Christmas day. It has a large, round, almost dumpy shape. The skin can be green or yellow/brown often with a red blush. It has a creamy white texture and is far less gritty than some pear varieties. A superb caramel-sweet, juicy bite.
A native Portuguese pear. It is usually a yellow colour with a bright white flesh. It’s a firm crunchy refreshingly juicy and sweet bite.
One of the most striking looking pear varieties. It has a beautiful bell shape and freckled green skin with a deep red blush. Yet another pear thats green colour turns yellow when ripe. Sometimes the taste can range from quite bland to extremely sweet, certainly an acquired, almost perfumed taste.
Gaining popularity in the UK marketplace, this striking looking pear with a cinnamon/gold smooth russeted skin has a delicately perfumed, creamy, juicy and tender bite with a rich, sweet flavour.
