About the Award-Winning Plants:

Apple ‘Peter’s Gold’®:

Found on a roadside by the late Peter Seabrook, Peter’s Gold is an exceptional apple noted for its yellow/green colour and golden blush. It picks late and stores excellently through the winter. Its flesh is delicious, sweet and juicy with an excellent crunch. We have released it in honour of Peter, its discoverer and a dear friend of the nursery.

Cornus ‘Mandarin Jewel’®:

Cornus kousa ‘Mandarin Jewel’® is a stunning ornamental tree featuring star-shaped white flowers in late spring and unique mandarin-orange fruit in autumn. Its lush green foliage transforms into vibrant red and purple hues in fall, making it a striking addition to any garden, perfect for year-round interest.
