Known from Chaxhill and Longhope areas. Small and greenish like a grape. Overindulgence could probably have dire consequences - hence its name. 		Existing Unknown Chaxhill

Like an Old Pruin but a bit bigger, a bit rounder, a bit later and a heavier cropper. Was found in the Chaxhill area and is now lost. 		Lost Unknown Unknown
