Product Description
Easy to grow, this is one of the best early variety. Producing juicy green fruit from August to September, on a very hardy and compact medium-sized tree. The fruit tastes wonderful when eaten fresh but can also be used in cooking to make delicious desserts or purees. From April, beautiful pink-white flowers begin to bloom attracting birds and pollinators into the spring garden. We recommend planting in well-drained non-acidic soil in sunny areas of the garden where this hardy tree will reach a mature height of 3 metres. Dwarf root stock 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).
