Planting & Care

Enjoy a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the delicious Red Windsor apple, also known as 'Sweet Lilibet'.
Incredibly easy to grow, this variety is frost-resistant, self-pollinating, compact, and pest-resistant.
Features a classic storybook appearance with bright red skin, russet stripes, and a charming, slightly squashed shape.
Its compact size, reaching just 3m, makes it perfect for small gardens or growing in a large container.
Produces a profusion of beautiful spring blossoms that will attract bees and butterflies to your garden.
A reliable and quick-fruiting choice, you could be enjoying your first apples in under a year.
Our trees are expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong shape and healthy growth.

Latin Name: Malus domestica
Species: Apple
Uses: Eating
Tasting Notes: Good balance of sweet & sharp with nice aromatic qualities.
Features: Easy to grow, For cold regions, Heavy cropper
Flowering Time: March, April
Harvest Time: October
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. 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: Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other, which helps produce fruit if not self fertile, and can still improve yields even if they are. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1, 2, and 3.

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells when the leaves start to wilt. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: This isn't a hungry plant, so no feeding is required.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your apple tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Product Specifications

Supplied As: Bare Root. Our bare root trees are lifted fresh from the field and packed straight away. In winter, you can store for several weeks if kept in a cool, dark spot. Later in spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
Height on Arrival: 120-150cm including roots.
Age: Trees are typically between 18 and 36 months old.
Rootstock: M26 rootstock. This limits the tree's height to a manageable 3m, perfect for smaller spaces.
Eventual Height: 3m
Eventual Spread: 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. Some advise thinning the fruit in the first few years so the tree can concentrate its energy on establishing strong roots.
