Planting & Care

Discover a unique pineapple-like flavour from this English heirloom apple, dating back to the 1780s.
The small, yellow apples, similar in size to crabapples, pack a powerful and distinctive taste.
Perfect for eating fresh from the tree or for creating delicious, flavourful juice.
Enjoy a reliable, late-season harvest in October. Apples can be stored for 2-3 weeks.
A consistent producer with strong resistance to scab, making it an easy-to-grow choice.
Awarded by the RHS as a plant beneficial to pollinators.
Grown on an M26 rootstock, this tree will reach a manageable size of 3m x 3m, ideal for average gardens.
This variety is not self-fertile (Pollination Group 4) and requires a nearby pollination partner. In most urban areas, a suitable tree is likely to be close by.
Your tree arrives expertly pruned to encourage a robust, bushy shape and healthy growth.

Species: Apple
Features: Heritage
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, November, December
Flower Colour: Green
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 3m
Habit: Bushy
Hardiness: Fully Hardy - Doesn't require any protection from frost.
Pest & Disease Resistance: This old variety has excellent scab resistance and good canker and mildew resistance.
Soil Type: Prefers fertile well draining soil. Can also tolerate clay soil but you will need to take some steps to improve drainage, such as mixing in fine horticultural grit or perlite to the surrounding soil when planting.
Tasting Notes: Sweet & fruity pineapple flavour
Uses: Eating, juicing
Pollination: Requires a pollination partner to produce fruit. In most built up areas, it is unlikely there will not be a suitable tree close enough to pollinate (within a mile), but in rural areas you should consider planting another apple tree to aid pollination. This needs to be of the same pollination group or one number to either side.
Pollination Group: Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other, which helps produce fruit if not self fertile, and can still improve yields even if they are. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1,2&3.

Planting: Plant your tree from November to April. Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. If you have heavy clay, improve drainage by mixing horticultural grit into the planting hole. Space trees 3m apart.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For the first year, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often to encourage deep root growth. In the second year, the tree should only need watering during dry spells.
Feeding: No need to feed - apple trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your apple tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: Your tree will arrive at a height between 120-150cm.
Rootstock: M26 rootstock (grows up to 3m).
Eventual Height: Reaches a height of approx 3m.
Supplied As: This tree is supplied in a 9L Poly-Pot, which is approx D15 x H30cm. Poly-Pots use 70% less plastic than traditional pots and can be recycled. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development and can support a good size tree.
Spacing: Plant 3m apart to allow for spreading.
