Helmsley Walled Garden maintains a Northern Fruit Group’s collection of old apple varieties. The first collection planted in 2001 consists of 52 varieties of Yorkshire Apples, kindly donated by Hilary Wilson of Tebay.

Planted around the perimeter of the Millennium vegetable garden and trained as espaliers, cordons and stepovers. Stool beds and further plantings continue.
