Following a review of the Fruit Identification Service, a new process is to be implemented for 2011.
Free fruit identification days
Jim Arbury, the RHS’ renowned fruit specialist, will travel to all four RHS Gardens to hold ‘Fruit Identification Days’. Members are invited to bring along their fruit to be identified by Jim on these specific days. The revised Fruit Identification Service will be free of charge to members and non-members.
The dates of the ‘Fruit Identification Days’ for 2011 are as follows:

For the exact location and timing for fruit identification held on the dates above, please enquire at the venue entrance beforehand or on arrival.
