Malus domestica ‘Braddick’s Nonpareil’

Horticultural & Botanical History
‘One of the best winter dessert apples, in use from November to April, and by many considered more sweet, and tender, than the old Nonpareil. The tree is quite hardy, a slender grower, and never attains to a large size, but is a very excellent bearer. It succeeds well on the paradise stock, and is well adapted for dwarfs, or for being grown as an espalier. This excellent variety was raised by John Braddick, Esq., of Thames Ditton.’ [Hogg p.43/1851].
History at Camden Park
Listed in the 1850 and 1857 catalogues [Apple no.44/1850].
