McDOUGAL ORCHARDS
Margil is among the oldest of dessert apple varieties grown in England. This apple is one of a select group of varieties with a documented history going back more than 250 years. Although separated by at least 200 years, Margil is similar in flavor to Braeburn, and has no trouble holding its own against modern varieties.
*We recently learned that the variety we bought, planted, and have been enjoying for the past years as Margil may actually have been mislabeled from the nursery. Some local apple experts have told us that what we thought was Margil may actually be Pomme Gris! We will update when we know more.
