It was raised at East Malling Research Station in Kent as a cross between Wijcik McIntosh and Greensleeves, and introduced commercially in 1988. It cooks to a purée. This late-season variety is harvested from early October in South-East England and is at its best from October to December.
Char(r) usually refers to the Arctic char, an uncommon freshwater fish of the same family as salmon, trout and related to grayling and the vendace or powan. It is found in rivers and lakes of northern Europe, north western United States and Canada and in the Great Lakes. They are migratory fish, like salmon and trout. They have a steely blue-grey back with salmon-pink speckles on the sides and a red underbelly. They have sweet firm flesh which varies from white to pink, dependent upon its own diet, and with good flavour, some say better than trout, being something like a cross between trout and salmon.
