QuoteApple Lord Derby M26 - Cooking  Apple - Vigorous upright growth, good cropper with good disease resistance. It succeeds in cold wet areas. Large green fruit. Does not store well. Pick mid September.

I am thinking of buying this from blackmoor (mainly because it is the only cooker cordon they have).
Has anyone ever grown it ?

Its a very good variety, producing very large fruits.
I do have in the cordon section other cooking varieties
Arthur Turner, Rev Wilkes and James Grieve is a dual purpose.
