Planting & Care

Discover the Rubinette, a hybrid of Cox's Orange Pippin and Golden Delicious, renowned for its ideal sweet-tart flavour and crisp texture.
Features a striking orange-red skin, making it as beautiful as it is delicious.
Produces abundant yields of small apples that increase in size as the tree matures.
Harvest in October. Enjoy fresh for the best taste, or store for 1-2 months.
Awarded by the RHS as 'Perfect for Pollinators', supporting local wildlife.
Grown on an M26 rootstock, this tree remains a manageable size (3m x 3m), perfect for average gardens.
Arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy, and productive shape.

Species: Apple
Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, November, December
Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
Eventual Spread: 3m
Habit: Bushy
Hardiness: Fully Hardy (Doesn't require any protection from frost)
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent scab resistance and good canker and mildew resistance.
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil. Tolerates clay if drainage is improved.
Pruning: Requires some structural pruning each winter.
Tasting Notes: Perfectly balanced sharpness & sweetness
Uses: Best eaten fresh
Fertility: Not self-fertile. Requires a pollination partner.
Pollination Group: 4

Pollination: This tree is not self-fertile and requires a pollination partner from the same group (4) or an adjacent group (3 or 5) that flowers at the same time. In most urban areas, a suitable pollinator is likely to be nearby within a mile.
Planting: Plant trees 3m apart to allow for their eventual spread. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil. If planting in heavy clay, improve drainage by mixing horticultural grit or perlite into the surrounding soil.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. From the second year, the tree should be established and only require watering during dry spells. It's better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: No feeding is required as apple trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil.
Pruning: Your tree arrives pre-pruned. To ensure a productive shape and improve yields, some structural pruning should be done each winter.
