About the book

The Herefordshire Pomona is a monumental nineteenth-century record of apples and pears cultivated in Herefordshire and the surrounding region. Associated with Henry Graves Bull and Robert Hogg, it combines detailed descriptions of fruit varieties with richly coloured botanical illustrations. The work documents the extraordinary diversity of British orchard fruit and is an important source for pomology, horticultural history and the culture of cider-producing counties.
