Planting & Care

A top choice for flavour, emerging as a favourite after a tour led by our apple tree expert.
Deliciously aromatic taste, similar to its parent 'Cox', with an intense sweetness followed by a sharp edge.
Far easier to grow than 'Cox', this variety is robust with no significant pest or disease issues.
A heavy cropper, providing excellent yields. For larger fruit, thin the apples in June if the crop is heavy.
Pick in mid-September. These apples are best enjoyed fresh from the tree as they don't store for long.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Grafted onto M26 rootstock, it will grow to a maximum size of H3m x W3m, ideal for average gardens.
Partially self-fertile, so it will produce fruit on its own, but yields can be improved by a nearby pollination partner.
Arrives in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
Your tree will be 18-36 months old and professionally pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Apple

Sun: Full sun
Hardiness: Fully Hardy - Doesn't require any protection from frost

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should only need watering in dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: No need to feed this variety.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
Pollination: This tree is partially self-fertile and doesn't require a pollination partner, but will produce better crops if one is nearby. In most built-up areas, other apple trees will be close enough. Trees can pollinate others in the same pollination group or one group to either side.
