History and description of Paregard

Paregard apple was found by the Danish priest and fruit collector Woldike in the village Vaggerlose in Denmark in 1845. According to Woldike there were many old trees of the same variety in farms in the region. It was therefore almost certainly a very old local Danish variety.
