- Highlights
- Variety Specifications
- Planting & Care
- An award-winning variety, highly regarded as the UK's best cooking apple.
- The tart, acidic flesh cooks down into a beautifully smooth puree, perfect for pies, sauces, juicing, or cider.
- Enjoy a long harvest season from early September to the end of October.
- These apples store exceptionally well until late winter. For best results, keep them in a cool, dark place on apple racks to ensure good air circulation.
- This tree is not self-fertile and requires a pollination partner from Pollination Group 3 to produce fruit. In most urban areas, a suitable pollinator is likely to be nearby.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape.
- Supplied in EcoPots™, which use 70% less plastic, are fully recyclable, and help prevent root spiraling.
- Species: Apple
- Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper, Heritage, Stores well
- Flowering Time: April, May
- Harvest Time: September, October
- Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
- Sun: Full sun
- Hardiness: Fully Hardy - Doesn't require any protection from frost
- Uses: Cooking
- Tasting Notes: Sharp, but boils down to a full-bodied, rich flavour.
- Pollination: Not self-fertile. Requires a pollinating partner to produce fruit. In most built-up areas, it is unlikely there will not be a suitable tree close enough to pollinate, but in rural areas you should consider making sure there is another tree in the same pollination group within a mile.
- Pollination Group: 3. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other. Trees can usually pollinate a group on either side of their own (e.g., Group 3 can pollinate with 2, 3, and 4).
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells when leaves start to wilt. Container-grown trees need more watering until established (every other day for the first few months, then twice a week until autumn). It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often to encourage 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 inc. roots
- Rootstock: MM106 rootstock. Apple tree varieties are grafted to rootstocks to control their final size. MM106 trees are ideal for average-sized gardens, reaching a height of up to 4m.
- Eventual Height: 4m
- Eventual Spread: 4m
- Time to First Crop: 1 year. You may see your first apples the first year after planting, but don't expect substantial crops until the 3rd or 4th year.
