Planting & Care

A traditional English dessert apple, developed in 1905, with an appealing orange hue.
Enjoy a delicious Cox-like taste with a subtle hint of aniseed.
Perfect for eating fresh from the tree and excellent for juicing.
Harvest a heavy and consistent crop from late August to September.
Features strong resistance to pests and diseases, including scab, canker, and mildew.
Grafted onto M26 rootstock for a compact size of 3m x 3m, ideal for most gardens.
Holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit and is recognised as a 'Plants for Pollinators' winner.
Partially self-fertile (Pollination Group 4), but benefits from a nearby pollination partner for the best yields.

Species: Apple
Features: Heritage, Self fertile
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Flower Colour: Green, Orange
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Hardiness: Fully Hardy (Doesn't require any protection from frost)
Habit: Bushy
Eventual Spread: 3m
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good pest and disease resistance
Tasting Notes: Aromatic flavour with a background note of aniseed
Uses: Eating, juicing

Planting Time: Plant from January to April or November to December.
Planting Location: Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. If you have clay soil, improve drainage by mixing in horticultural grit or perlite when planting. Plant trees 3m apart.
Watering: Water in thoroughly after planting. For the first few months, water every other day, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: No feeding is required; apple trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil.
Pruning: Your tree arrives expertly pruned to encourage a good shape. Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive form, improve yields, and prevent disease.
Pollination: This variety is partially self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). To ensure a heavy crop, it benefits from a pollination partner. Another apple tree from the same group or an adjacent group (3, 4, or 5) flowering nearby will improve pollination. In most urban areas, a suitable partner is likely to be within a mile.
