'New' apple and pear varieties found in Wales

'New' apple and pear varieties found in Wales

About 200 trees were DNA-tested in the two-year project to find, catalogue and preserve new varieties.

Some have been propagated and are now being grown in 13 community orchards around Wales.

The lottery funded project was run by the University of South Wales and the Welsh Perry & Cider Society.

One variety, called Anglesey Sweet Jane (A1789), was found growing on land on Anglesey.
