One of the easiest and most productive cooking apples to grow. The fruits are green, flattish and distinctly ribbed. Cooks into a good sharp puree. The tree is compact and low in vigour, suiting smaller gardens. To guarantee cross pollination plant with another tree from the same or adjacent flowering group (e.g. 'King of the Pippins').
This Apple Tree is supplied bare rooted suitable for planting from November until March or in a 10 litre container suitable for planting all year round. The total height of this tree is approximately 1.5-2.1m (5-7ft) depending on which size you have chosen.
Our bare rooted trees are hand lifted from our nursery on the day or day before despatch. There will be no soil around the roots but they are covered with a bag to prevent them drying out. If you are unable to plant the trees immediately there is no need to panic. The trees are completely dormant this time of year, which means as long as the roots are kept out of the frost and well wrapped up no harm will come to them, although the sooner you can get them planted in the ground the better.
All of our apple trees are grown in the UK to the highest standard. Every order comes complete with planting instructions and a guide to looking after your purchase. (Example of our 2 year old, 10 litre Bush and Half Standard apple trees can be seen to the left. Please note that sizes may vary slightly depending on the time of year and which rootstock you have chosen.)

Our gift wrapping service is a great way to make your present even more special. Please view basket for more details.
