Planting & Care

A traditional English dessert apple from 1905, with an appealing orange hue and a Cox-like taste with a hint of aniseed.
Perfect for eating fresh from the tree or for juicing.
Harvest your crop mid-season, from late August to September.
Enjoy a heavy, consistent yield from a tree with strong pest resistance.
An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, also recognised as a 'Plants for Pollinators' variety.
Grown on an M26 rootstock, reaching a compact size of 3m x 3m, ideal for average gardens.
Partially self-fertile (Pollination Group 4), but benefits from a nearby pollination partner.
Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a robust, bushy shape.

Planting: Plant your bare root tree from November to April. Our trees are lifted fresh from the field; in winter, you can store them for several weeks in a cool, dark spot. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil. If you have clay soil, improve drainage by mixing in fine horticultural grit or perlite when planting. Plant trees 3m apart to allow for their eventual spread.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Bare root trees only need watering in dry spells. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: No feeding is required; apple trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
Pollination: This tree is in Pollination Group 4 and is partially self-fertile. It will produce a heavier crop if a pollination partner is nearby (within a mile). Suitable partners are other apple trees in the same pollination group or one group to either side (i.e., groups 3, 4, or 5) that flower at the same time.
Harvesting: You may see your first apples in the first year, but don't expect substantial crops until the 3rd or 4th year. It's often advised to thin the fruit in the first few years so the tree can focus its energy on establishing strong roots.
