A bee on apple blossom The Lost Orchard by Raymond Blanc (Headline Home, £20) From 2012 onwards, the famous restaurateur began planting apple trees on a plot of land behind his hotel-restaurant at Great Milton in Oxfordshire. He currently has around 2500 trees and 150 types of apple generating some 30 tonnes annually. Among them are rare varieties such as Lord Lambourne, Chivers Delight and D’Arcy Spice (the last two are both great for baking, apparently) alongside more familiar names such as Cox’s Orange Pippin and Granny Smith. To that bounty Blanc has added 600 trees from his home turf of Franche-Comte in eastern France, as well as pear, quince, apricot, plum, medlar, peach and cherry trees. In The Lost Orchard, published in 2019, he tells the story of a project whose aim is to celebrate and preserve the multiplicity of British apple varieties – and, of course, to keep his restaurant well stocked with the sort of stuff you won’t find on the supermarket shelves.
