Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

Awarded the prestigious RHS prize for its excellent qualities.
A true heritage variety, first cultivated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, in 1740.
Superb for cooking, making a rich puree from early October.
For eating fresh, allow it to ripen until November for enhanced sweetness.
Harvest in late October to November; stores well for up to two months.
A manageable size for any garden, reaching 3m x 3m on M26 rootstock.
Fruits biennially; thinning is required in heavy cropping years to prevent branch damage.
Supplied as an 18-36 month old tree, professionally pruned for strong, bushy growth.

Species: Apple
Features: Heritage, Stores well
Flowering Time: May
Harvest Time: October, November
Sunlight: Full sun
Hardiness: Fully Hardy - Doesn't require any protection from frost.
Uses: Eating and Cooking
Tasting Notes: Crispy texture with a nutty, slightly sour flavour when picked early. Leave until November for a sweeter taste.
Pollination: Not self-fertile. Requires a pollinating partner to produce fruit. It is in Pollination Group 3 and can be pollinated by trees in groups 2, 3, and 4. In most built-up areas, a suitable tree is likely to be close enough, but in rural areas, you should ensure another compatible apple tree is within a mile.

Planting Time: Can be planted at any time of year.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. A container-grown tree will need more watering until its roots are established. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should have an established enough root system to support itself; just water in dry spells when leaves start to wilt. When watering, it is better to give a good soaking less frequently than little and often, as this encourages deep root growth.
Feeding: No need to feed.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your apple tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: 120-150cm including the pot.
Supplied As: A 9L Eco Pot (approx. W15 x H30cm). Eco Pots use 70% less plastic than traditional pots and are fully recyclable. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development.
Rootstock: M26 rootstock. This limits the tree's final height to a manageable 3m, perfect for smaller spaces.
Eventual Height & Spread: 3m x 3m.
Time to First Crop: You may see your first apples the first year after planting, but don't expect substantial crops until the 3rd or 4th year. Thinning the fruit in the first few years allows the tree to concentrate its energy on establishing strong roots.
