"Hi Lynda," wrote Paddy Franklin. "I was having a conversation about fruit with my brother when he casually mentioned that the 'Black Doris' plum was named after a neighbour of one of my sisters." Doris, Paddy revealed, was the youngest daughter of Lewis John Billington (1884-1955). "He was a sometime milk vendor, farmer and bricklayer on the Waitakere dams. He also liked his garden and playing around with the grafting of plums, it would appear."
