Origin | England, before 1874[1] |
'Worcester Pearmain' is an early season English cultivar of domesticated apple, that was developed in Worcester, England, by a Mr. Hale of Swanpool in 1874.[2] It was once the most popular cultivar in England for early autumn harvest[3] and is still popular to keep in the garden.[4] It has been extensively used in apple breeding.[1]
It is a cross between Devonshire Quarrenden and an unknown parent.[1]
This red flushed pearmain sometimes has a strawberry-like flavour, and its early season property is passed on in breeding programs to other cultivars. Taste is smooth and sweet, ideal for fresh eating,[2] mostly recommended for stewed apple.[4] Keeps fresh for approximately one week.[2]
The tree has slightly low vigor and average disease resistance. It produces attractive flowers,[2] which is a feature for itself.[4] The blossoms are partially self-sterile. Crop is heavy and harvest at early-mid season. First Class Certificate from RHS in 1875.[5] This Pearmain earned the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993.[2]
