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 ‘Red Cluster’

‘A small, red. Somersetshire apple, a late variety, which gives excellent assistance in making cider from mixed fruit. The tree bears freely.’ [HP].
