Perfect for making wonderful apple sauce.
A UK favourite, prized for being easy to grow, reliable, and storing exceptionally well.
Harvest in November and enjoy your apples right through to March.
Features a crisp texture and a mild, sweet flavour.
Grown on an M26 rootstock, reaching a manageable size of 3m x 3m, ideal for most gardens.
Requires a pollination partner from Group 4 (or 3 & 5) to produce fruit.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
Arrives as a young tree, typically 18-36 months old, and expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Malus domestica (Apple)
Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper
Flavour: Crisp flesh with a mild, sweet flavour
Uses: Eating, Juices, Apple Sauce
Flowering Time: May
Harvest Time: November
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Pollination: Group 4. Requires a pollination partner to produce fruit. Trees in groups 3, 4, or 5 that flower at the same time will work. In most built-up areas, a suitable pollinator is likely nearby.

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water regularly for the first year until the roots are established. Afterwards, water only during prolonged dry spells. A good soaking less often is better than little and often.
