After a guided tour by our apple tree grower, this variety came out as the favourite! Amazing taste, comparable with 'Cox' (one of its parents). A lot easier to grow than 'Cox', wi th none of the pest/disease problems. You can expect much better crops. Thin the fruits in June to encourage larger apples if you're finding them too small. Harvest in mid-September; these apples don't keep particularly well so enjoy them while they last! RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. M26 Rootstock - Max size H3m x W3m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Partially self-fertile (will produce crops without a pollinating partner). 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 Show more
