Apples growing on an apple tree in an orchard during summer or August, Surrey, UK. Apple variety Albury Park Nonsuch, synonym Forfar Pippin
Forfar Pippin has the synonyms Albury Nonesuch, Albury Park Nonsuch, Dutch Mignon. It is a good dual purpose apple, likely grown in Holland during the mid-1700s. The base colour is yellow over which are pale reddish streaks. The flesh is yellow, firm and crisp. Juicy, highly aromatic, rich and sweet. Though a highly appreciated dessert apple, it is also the primary ingredient in Apple Charlotte. Makes a lovely sauce that is flavourful and sweet-tart. Origins: Thought to have originated in the Netherlands. It was brought to Britain in 1771 as either pippins or seedlings by Thomas Harvey of Norwich () and was listed under the name Dutch Mignonne by horticulturalist George Lindley in his "A Guide to the Orchard and Fruit Garden" in 1846. It is still listed by a few nurseries these days as Forfar which is a synonym for the Albury Park Nonsuch. According to some sources, the cultivar was not worthy of retention after receiving the Royal Horticultural Society's Order of Merit in 1892. The British National Fruit Collection lists both the Dutch Mignonne and the Albury Park Nonesuch separately, yet the both have overlapping histories and descriptions.
