This
is the first book on Somerset's cider apples to be published and breaks
new ground by including colour photographs of all 80 varieties still grown
in Somerset's orchards today. As well as photographs, there are drawings
of every apple, showing size and shape, together with descriptive notes
on their origins and quality for cider making.
There
are identification charts, lists of varieties according to taste, another
giving their alternative names, as well as fascinating historical information
describing the changing fortunes of Somerset's cider growers and makers.
The
publication of A Somerset Pomona comes at a time when the drinking
of cider has rarely been so popular, whilst the renewed interest in traditional
apple varieties gives added importance to a book that combines hortcultural
facts with the down-to-earth story of Somerset's most celebrated drink.
