- The flesh is yellow and red in the centre, and sweet to the taste
- Ideally suited to growing in a container on your patio
- Popular with amateur gardeners for its particularly heavy cropping and hardiness
- Due to its hardy nature, it’s particularly well suited to growing in the UK
- Attracts birds, bees and other beneficial insects to your garden
- 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
