Product Description

A traditional and dual-purpose favourite, 'Blenheim Orange' is a vigorous and hardy tree that produces an abundance of distinctive nutty flavoured fruit from September onwards and produces breath-taking white flowers from April to May that will attract birds and butterflies into the garden. This wonderful variety is easy to grow and once established, will produce a heavy crop or red flushed golden fruit that holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. A great addition to the garden to produce your own fruit for cooking to be used in pies or purees, they are also delicious when eaten fresh. Dwarf rootstocks supplied.

Growing at a glance…

Young trees must be watered thoroughly and sprinkle with fertilizer each spring. You can also mulch in April with rotted manure or compost around the base of the trunk. They should be planted in well sheltered locations. They will blossom and flower in Spring and fruit is normally ready to be picked throughout Autumn.Apple trees are suitable for planting in most types of moderately fertile, well drained soil, although they do not like acid soil. If possible prepare the ground some time in advance of planting. Open out holes and plant with enough space toaccommodate the roots without cramping them. Plant in a sunny location as they do not prosper too well in the shade. Make sure that you plant with a stake, as this will be needed for at least five years to help support the tree. Begin weed controlprior to planting and keep a clean ring around the plant (with a radius of approx 24inches).
