This plant was given the variety name 'Chelsea' by the late Robert Garner of East Malling research station in England. Cuttings from the famous tree in the Chelsea Physic Garden, planted by King James 2nd, were rescued when the tree was destroyed early in the 1939 - 45 war.
It also sometimes comes under the variety name 'King James'.
A heavy cropping variety that can start fruiting three years from planting.
