The exhibition value of any kind of fruit or vegetable is governed by the difficulty of producing a perfect dish. The following chart shows maximum points that will be used when assessing the value of dishes in the collection classes. Other fruit and vegetables not on this list may be exhibited but please see the Royal Horticultural Society's 'The Horticultural Show Handbook' and the NVS Exhibitor Guide for points, number of specimens, weights and sizes.
