Plant of the Day

Saturday 12 April 2025

Soon this beautifully fan trained Malus domestica 'Laxton's Fortune' (apple) will be covered in pale pink flowers. This dessert apple was developed by the Laxton Brothers Nursery, Bedford, UK, and released in 1904. It has been described as a useful substitute for Malus ‘Cox's Orange Pippin’ (one of its parents), having some of that aromatic flavour and being but much easier to grow. This variety will even set a light crops even if there are no pollination partners nearby, but cropping will be better with another variety to cross-pollinate the blossom.

Gordon Castle

Gordon Castle is located in the parish of Bellie in Moray, Scotland. It served as the principal seat for the Dukes of Gordon. The six-story medieval tower house dates from 1498 and was built by George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly. Later, it was incorporated into the center of the neoclassical four-story house with a pair of two-story wings built by his grandson in the late 18th century. The castle was used as a hospital for soldiers during WWI and then sold to the Crown in 1938 when the 9th Duke sold the estate and its contents to pay enormous death taxes. The estate fell into disrepair until after WWII when the grandson of the 7th Duke of Richmond and Gordon purchased it. During the restoration, much of the house was taken down due to rot and transformed into an attraction for the public. The estate sits on the Spey River, known for its world-class salmon fishing. The castle offers exclusive use accommodations in the castle, along with self-catering cottages. The property boasts gardens, a café, a child’s play center, and an eight-acre walled garden, one of Britain’s oldest and largest walled gardens. Using the family company that runs the estate, they created the Gordon Castle brand, which includes Gordon Castle Gin crafted from the botanicals grown in the Highlands. The Castle is not open to the public and only available exclusively.

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 2 July 2024

The walled garden at Gordon Castle, Scotland, has used Allium fistulosum (Welsh onion, bunching onion, long green onion, Japanese bunching onion, onion-leek, stone leek) as an edging plant. The leaves of this decorative 'cut and come again' onion can be used in a similar way to chives (although their flavour is stronger) while the flower shoots (which are not as pungent as onions) can be added to salads.
