In late November 1962 the Fruit Group of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, held an interesting experiment - a meeting to taste fruit. Just as people often meet to taste wines or cheese, it was believed by the Fruit Group Committee that members might welcome an opportunity to taste and sample different varieties of fruits, including some not commonly grown today. Thus they could compare them and decide which they would like to grow themselves. Announcement of the proposal was made at the annual dinner. The Society's Fruit officer decided which varieties of apples would be tested and a wide selection was brought up from the collection at Wisley. The response of the members was so enthusiastic that the meeting promised to be one of the most popular in the history of the group.
