What exactly is a Welsh pear or apple tree?

What exactly is a Welsh heritage apple or pear? One with long historical provenance to the region? One grown in an apple or pear tree nursery and harvested by the people of Wales? Or just any that are found to be growing here regardless of origin?

Welsh Heritage Orchards Ltd is one organisation that is trying to establish an answer to this tricky question and as tree sellers based in Wales, Tyn y Berllan is proud to be part of that endeavour.

Check back in the next few weeks for an upcoming guest post that will describe some of the work that Welsh Heritage Orchards is undertaking and some of the initial steps that have been taken towards developing a taxonomy to (hopefully!) answer the question once and for all!
