Planting & Care

Early Season Variety: 'Discovery' is a popular dessert apple producing crisp, sweet-sharp fruit with a distinctive strawberry undertone, ready for harvesting in late August.
Disease Resistance: Offers excellent natural resistance to common ailments such as scab, making it a low-maintenance choice for home gardeners.
Bare Root Format: Supplied as a dormant plant without soil, which encourages faster root establishment and vigorous spring growth upon planting.
Planting Requirements: Thrives in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil; requires a pollination partner in the same or adjacent flowering group for best yields.
Container Growing: Suitable for patio growing in a heavy pot with a minimum diameter of 50cm (approx. 40 litres); plant using a soil-based compost like John Innes No. 3 and ensure consistent watering.
Training Form: Pruned and trained as a specific 'Stepover' cordon, featuring a short vertical trunk and horizontal lateral branches roughly 45cm from the ground, ideal for edging paths or beds.
