- With a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, Red Windsor (also 'Sweet Lilibet') is a top choice for flavour.

- Features a classic storybook appearance with bright red skin and a slightly squashed shape.
- Reaching just 3m tall, it's perfect for small gardens or growing in a large container.
- Abundant spring blossoms attract bees and butterflies to your garden.
- Reliable and quick to fruit, you can enjoy your first apples in under a year.
- Our trees are 18-36 months old, expertly pruned for strong growth, and supplied in recyclable EcoPots™.
- Species: Apple
- Latin Name: Malus domestica
- Features: Easy to grow, For cold regions, Heavy cropper
- Flowering Time: March, April
- Harvest Time: October
- Uses: Eating

- Hardiness: Fully Hardy; doesn't require any protection from frost
- Self Fertile: Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
- Pollination Group: Group 2. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own (i.e. 2 can pollinate 1, 2, and 3).
- Planting Time: Can be planted all year round.
- Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your apple tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
- 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. From the second year, water only when required in dry spells. Water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Feeding: No need to feed.
