Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Malus domestica ‘Lincolnshire Holland Pippin’

Fruit; above medium size, roundish. Skin; yellow, streaked with red and bright crimson next the sun. A beautiful apple, for culinary use. The tree is very ornamental when in flower, owing to its large, brightly coloured blossoms. [Proc. RHS 1862-1865].
