Description
- If you’re looking for the best flavoured apple, you may well have found it! Rubinette is said to have that elusive perfect balance of sweet and sharp. It’s a mid 20th century cross between Cox’s orange pippin and Golden Delicious with an attractive orange-flushed skin and is a best seller
- Best eaten fresh
- Late season – harvest in October and keep for 1-2 months
- Heavy crops of small apples that get bigger every year
- RHS Plants for Pollinators winner
- M26 Rootstock – Max size H3m x W3m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited to an average gardenMORE

Apples in the same pollination group, or one either side, can pollinate each other. In built up areas it is unlikely that there won’t be a suitable pollination partner within a mileMORE
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
