shewhomustWiltshire man discovers new variety of apple while out jogging.
I don't think it spoils the story to know that Archie Thomas, the hero of the tale, works for a wild plant and fungi conservation charity (Plantlife) and wasn't entirely taken by surprise by his discovery.
I love that he lives in the Nadder Valley: I don't know the origin of that place-name, but I do know that a nadder is an adder - so the apple was given to him by a snake.
