The fruit can be of all shapes and sizes as long as they are unsprayed and from London. The most important thing is that they are separated into

• Handpicked from the tree; these need to be blemish/bruise-free and of eating quality.
• Windfall apples from the ground; these apples can be blemished with a very small bit of bruising and the odd bug is fine.
