- Requires a nearby pollination partner from Group 3, 4, or 5.

- Species: Apple
- Features: Heritage
- Flavour: Aromatic apple with a hint of pear
- Flowering: March - May
- Harvest: September - November
- Habit: Bushy
- Position: Full sun to partial shade
- Hardiness: Fully Hardy
- Soil: Any fertile, well-drained soil
- Pest & Disease: Good resistance to scab and mildew
- Pollination: Not self-fertile. Pollination Group 4
- Planting Time: November to April
- Planting: Plant trees 3m apart. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. If you have clay soil, improve drainage by mixing in horticultural grit or perlite when planting.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells.
- Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yield, and prevent disease.
- Feeding: No feeding is required as the tree will get all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
- Pollination: Requires a pollination partner to produce fruit. This needs to be another apple tree from the same pollination group or an adjacent one (e.g. Group 3, 4, or 5). In most built-up areas, a suitable tree is likely to be close enough.
