Laxton's Superb. Never tried one, just like the name.
We used to have a Laxton tree at my parents' house. I reckon it was planted in 1958, when we moved in.
I also remember a "King of the Pippin" tree which my dad moved with us, on the back of a lorry.
There was already a massive Blenheim Orange tree in the garden, which gave large fruit sweet enough for eating and softened enough to be cookers as well. That tree gave cwts of fruit every year until one year, after a particularly prolific autumn, it turned its toes up.
I also recall a Bramley which my dad planted. After the October 1987 gale it was leaning at about 45° but a we tied a rope to it and pulled it upright. It survived until my parents moved in with us in 2001.
