Planting & Care

Discover the incredible 19th-century origin story of a Scottish ploughman, a gamekeeper, and a compost heap on the Megginch Estate.
Features a distinctive dark red, ribbed skin and beautiful pink-stained flesh.
Offers a mild, sweet, and juicy flavour, perfect for eating fresh, juicing, or baking.
A vigorous grower that thrives in colder climates, producing fruit from mid-September to October.
Apples store well for a couple of months, and the tree is renowned for its robust disease resistance.
Supplied in an EcoPot, using 70% less plastic, which is fully recyclable and reduces root spiralling.
Your tree will be 18-36 months old and expertly pruned before shipping to encourage strong, bushy growth.
