Description
- Wonderfully sweet flesh with notes of delicious strawberry. Can also be used for juicing or ciders.
- Long harvests from mid-September onwards.
- Excellent keepers; store right through to late winter. Store in a cool, dark place to keep longer. Apple racks help promote air circulation to prevent fungus and rot. Pick a couple weeks earlier before the fruit fully ripens to reduce the sugar content and extend the storing period.MORE
- M26 Rootstock – Max size H3m x W3m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
- Not self-fertile (Group 3) so needs another apple tree nearby to pollinate Some apple trees need another apple tree to pollinate their flowers in order to produce fruit. The trees would need to be flowering at the same time, which forms the basis for “pollination groups”. In built up areas, it is unlikely that there wouldn’t be another suitable apple tree within the required radius. Self fertile trees don’t require a pollination partner, although they may produce better crops if there is one nearbyMORE
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- 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
