Local heritage varieties - Apple varieties often thrive best in the area where they were bred, and are therefore powerful symbols of local distinctiveness. Over the centuries nurserymen have developed numerous new orchard fruits for use in their local region and further afield.

With their unique cultural value, traditional orchards are also valuable as recreational and tourist attractions. Try finding your local orchard to visit! .
