- Planting & Care
- A cross between Cox's Orange Pippin and Golden Delicious, the Rubinette is celebrated by apple lovers for its ideal sweet-tart balance.
- Features a striking orange-red skin and is best enjoyed fresh from the tree for the ultimate taste experience.
- A heavy cropper, producing abundant yields of small apples that increase in size as the tree matures.
- Awarded the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' mark, making it a great choice for supporting wildlife.
- Grown on an M26 rootstock, this tree will reach a manageable maximum height and spread of 3m, perfect for average-sized gardens.
- Harvest in October. The fruit stores well for 1-2 months, letting you enjoy your crop for longer.
- Your tree arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.
- Planting Time: November to April
- Spacing: Plant 3m apart
- Pollination: This is not a self-fertile variety and belongs to Pollination Group 4. It requires a pollination partner from the same group or an adjacent group (3 or 5) to produce fruit. In most urban areas, a suitable pollinator is likely to be nearby.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Continue to water regularly during dry spells for the first year. Water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Feeding: Apple trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil, so no additional feeding is required.
- Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
