| Comments | Chosen by RP. A veteran Codling tree grew beside the old stables in RP's family garden in Norfolk. Underneath the tree was a large patch of apple mint, and this was used with Codling apples to make the most wonderful jelly, delicious when eaten with roast lamb. The Codling in the Orchard has been specially grafted by EK from a Codling tree growing in a hedge at Hatten's Farm in Metfield. |
