Co-incidence, have just seen your Sunday email Mark. I unwrapped some Ashmeads Kernel yesterday evening to prepare a pudding. Had to open 16 to get 5 without rot. Those five were a fine flavour but poor texture and cooked to a mush.
By comparison Adam's Pearmain are still near perfect and keep shape when sliced for tarts. And the tree is much more resistant to canker.
Winston are keeping well but their flavour is fading.
