Welsh Marches Pomona

Forthcoming!

MAN will shortly be publishing this important aid in the identification of apples raised, and still grown, in the Welsh Marches. The 31 apples described include many old varieties which have been re-discovered in local orchards. Written by Michael Porter, an eminent local botanist and pomologist, and illustrated by Margaret Gill, an accomplished artist and botanical illustrator, the Pomona has been painstakingly researched over several years. At present, there are no readily accessible descriptions of the 31 varieties to be included, indeed for some of the Welsh apples there is no information at all available in the apple literature. With its beautiful illustrations and descriptions of apples, this new publication will attract interest among horticulturalists, botanists and anyone interested in the landscape, ecology, culture and heritage of the border counties of England and Wales.
