Product Description
Apple Red Devil, is a fantastic new apple tree which produces crisp fruit with unusual red flesh. The apple is very juicy with a hint of strawberry, and whilst the pinkness of the flesh is not as pronounced as similar varieties it is much more flavourful. It displays attractive pink-red blossoms in spring and fruits in September. A great self-fertile variety that's easy to grow and has good disease resistance. As with other trees can be pruned to keep down to a manageable height or restricted by growing in large containers. Supplied as a 1 year maiden fruit tree at 120cm.

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 control prior to planting and keep a clean ring around the plant (with a radius of approx 24inches).
