Malus 'Beauty of Bath' is a Somerset variety introduced in about 1864. It is one of the earliest dessert apples with a sweet and juicy flavour when ripe. The skin is pale yellow, flushed and speckled with bright red. The apples can drop quite soon after ripening so pick them as soon as they are ready.
To guarantee cross pollination plant with another tree from the same or adjacent flowering group (e.g. 'Golden Pippin').
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.)
