The perfect apple? Red Windsor has nailed the exact spot between sweet and sharp, making it widely considered one of the best flavoured red apples you can get. Red Windsor is also known as 'Sweet Lilibet'. Adorable. It's a top performing mid season variety which is easy to grow, frost hardy, self fertile, compact and resistant to pests Looks like an apple drawn by a child - bright red with a little russet striping and a slightly-squashed, cox-like shape. Seriously, it's like the apple in Snow White. Grows to just 3m tall (smaller if pruned) so it's great for small gardens and is happy in a large container Produces much more spring blossom than average, so it'll attract bees and butterflies to your garden Our tree guru, John, says "Red Windsor is an ideal first apple tree for beginners because it's so reliable and quick to crop - you could be tasting your first apples in less than a year." 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
