The Apples & Orchards of Worcestershire by Wade Muggleton

£8.00

The concept of a Pomona had its hey day in the 1800’s when the esteemed men & women of august societies recorded & catalogued the varieties of the day. The Herefordshire Pomona being perhaps the greatest and most famous example. There has seemingly never been a Worcestershire Pomona where all the varieties of the county were recorded together in one place. This book is an attempt to rectify this as well to capture a few of the stories of the apples of a county once so renowned for its orchards.
