Description

Papples, also known as pear apples or T109, are a unique hybrid fruit combining the characteristics of pears and apples. Originating from New Zealand, these fruits are grown in various regions, including Australia. Papples have a crisp, apple-like texture with a juicy, pear-like sweetness. Their appearance is often rounder like an apple but with the skin and some flavor notes reminiscent of a pear. They are typically eaten fresh but can also be used in salads, desserts, and other culinary applications.

What Clients Talk About Us

I ordered a medium vegetable platter and a large fruit platter to be delivered on Sunday.
They were delivered in the morning as requested and the delivery person obligingly came back later with the correct milk as he had brought the wrong one. We were so impressed with the platters. They looked beautiful and everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you very much.
