Dutch is sometimes called "Dutch Giant".  Haven't heard of it under the Giant 
of Uitbergen name. From personal experience, it is quite a bit bigger than 
Nottingham. 
Looking at pictures, I think the biggest variety around is either Large 
Russian, Puciu Big or Puciulot, none of which I've seen myself. Scroll down 
on this page:

a picture of Large Russian with an apple. Puciu Big & Puciulot can be 
compared with some other cultivars here:

monstrous. They also grew a variety called 'Westerveld'. I remember
'Monstrueuse d'Evreinoff' being 2 to 3 times as big as the 'Nottingham' I
grew.

Hi,

Just curious...
Are the trees bearing the big fruit different in form or size when compared 
to the standard varieties (say 'Nottingham')?

Best regards,
