Description: Pitmaston Dutchess is a one of the finest quality eating varieties. Produces very large, long golden-yellow russeted fruits. The yellowish white flesh is juicy and melting, slightly gritty around the core with a rich flavour. Shy cropper but partially self-fertile despite being a triploid. The tree itself has a vigorous habit, rather bushy and has attractive spring blossom.
History: Raised by John Williams at Pitmaston in Worcestershire in 1841. It’s original name was Pitmaston Duchesse d’Angouleme but it was renamed Pitmaston Dutchess in 1870. Recieved an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.
