History and description of Sweet Society
Sweet Society is a new variety bred by Hugh Ermen and first introduced
in 2004. It is part of a range of plants and trees selected by the Royal
Horticultural Society to celebrate the Bicentennial. The fruit is similar to
a good coloured Cox's Orange Pippin with
attractive russet streaks and a good red flush on a yellow green
background. The flavour is sweet and rich and highly aromatic. It
produces a free spurring, compact bushy tree. Cropping is heavy and
thinning of fruit is recommended to avoid small fruit
