Scrumptious - it does what it says on the tin! Sweet (but not sugary) with a complex mix of aromatic background flavours, the creamy white, crunchy flesh and thinner than average skin make this a highly sought-after apple. One of the best modern apples bred by Hugh Ermen in the 1980s, 'Scrumptious' has held the RHS Award of Garden Merit ever since. Ideal for beginners, with reliable cropping and excellent pest and disease resistance. Grows happily in open ground or in a pot. Our growers recommend Scrumptious for even colder areas of the UK, as the blossom has good frost resistance. The tree itself has a slightly arching form and scented white blossom, making it an attractive feature all year round. 'Scrumptious' produces apples slightly earlier in the season (late August - September) that can stay on the tree in perfect condition for two weeks, so you don't have to pick them all at once! The sunnier the planting position, the redder the apples will be. M26 Rootstock - Max size H3m x W3m. Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Self fertile - will produce good crops without pollination 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
