Planting & Care

An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, originating from Serbia.
Produces greenish-yellow, apple-shaped fruits with a rich, aromatic taste.
The flesh turns a beautiful rose pink when cooked, perfect for jams and jellies.
A compact, self-fertile tree with white to pale pink blossoms in spring.
Thrives in milder climates, ideally sheltered against a south-facing wall.
Harvest from September; fruits can be stored for up to three months.
Arrives expertly pruned to encourage strong, bushy growth.

Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November

Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Pruning: Some structural pruning required
Tasting Notes: Aromatic and fragrant
Uses: Jams, jellies, liqueur

Planting: Plant 4m apart in a sunny or partially shaded, sheltered spot. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; if using clay soil, improve drainage by mixing in horticultural grit. Water in thoroughly after planting.
Watering: Water bare root trees only during dry spells. Water regularly for the first year until established, giving a good soaking less frequently rather than little and often to encourage deep root growth.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve airflow, and prevent disease.
Pollination: This tree is self-fertile (Pollination Group 2) but may produce a better crop if a compatible partner is nearby.
Harvesting: Pick from September. Store fruits on shallow trays in a cool, dark, dry place for up to three months. Allow them to mature for six weeks before cooking.
Feeding: No feeding is required as the tree will get all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
