I believe
Claygate Pearmain, Orleans Reinette and Margil are among his top 12 apples
(others may be Mother, Egremont Russet, Ribston Pippin and Golden
Noble).
Buerre Superfin
is one of his top 6 pears. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul

Bunyard / Favorite Apples
I frequently read references to
Edward Bunyard and his wonderfully outspoken and vitriolic opinions about good
fruit. Occasionally I'll see a reference to an apple as being in Bunyard's "Top
Dozen Dessert Apples," yet I'm not able to Google a definitive list of this top
twelve. Anyone out there with a decent Bunyard library willing to share a
complete list of Bunyard's favorite apples?
By the way, I just discovered that his famed "The Anatomy of Dessert" from
the late 1920s is being reprinted by Random House this year, due to be released
in May or June. Great news.
