* // 2. DISCOVERY

Juicy and pleasantly flavoured - and holds flavour. Fruits on tips and spurs and is similar to Worcester Pearmain (a parent), so watch pruning. Keeps longer than the other sorts of this season. Now commercially used and ideal pollinator for Cox. Parentage: Beauty of Bath x possibly Worcester Pearmain. Was originally known as Thurston August, introduced by Matthews. Good disease resistance, tolerant to frost.
