Malus domestica ' Little Pax'
Not too long ago, an apple tree with no name & of unknown origin, was gifted to St Cecilia’s Abbey in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The Benedictine nuns planted it in their beautiful walled gardens overlooking the Solent where it grew undisturbed in fertile soil. In this quiet & safe haven, the tree flourished & soon produced the most stunning orchid-like spring blossom, followed by a bumper harvest of exceptional apples in the late autumn. The fruit is very special. A firm crunchy skin gives way to a smooth juicy flesh. Little Pax is a rich, aromatic dessert apple with a sweet essence similar to honeydew melon & a subtle but lingering champagne-like quality.
A charitable donation from the sale of every tree will be made to St Cecilia’s to help with the upkeep of the Abbey.
