Planting & Care

Enjoy lots of fruit in a limited space with these clever cordon apple trees.
Plant multiple varieties in the space of one standard tree, grown vertically or at a 45° angle on wires.
Choose from a range of delicious varieties, including:
‘James Grieve’: An RHS award-winning, dual-purpose apple that sweetens on the tree.
‘Bramley’s Seedling’: The nation's favourite cooking apple, perfect for crumbles and pies.
‘Braeburn Hillwell’: A self-fertile variety producing tasty red apples without a pollination partner.
‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’: A versatile classic that tastes far better homegrown than from a supermarket.
‘Gala’: One of the easiest varieties to grow, with crisp, refreshing, and attractive fruit.
‘Discovery’: A dessert apple with good pest and disease resistance that stores for over two months.
Arrives pre-shaped by our growers, ready for you to maintain with simple pruning.

Species: Apple
Features: Easy to grow, RHS Award of Garden Merit, Stores well
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: August, September, October, November
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Flower Colour: White blossoms tinged with pink appear in spring
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Apple trees typically grow best in rich soil with good drainage. Amend your soil with some garden compost if you need to improve drainage.
Hardiness: H6 - This cordon apple tree will tolerate temperatures down to around -20°C.
Habit: A vertical tree with short, fruit-bearing spurs branching off virtually the entire length of the trunk.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 0.5m.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Your cordon apple tree will come to you in a robust and healthy state, but like all fruit trees, it can be affected by aphids, caterpillars and certain diseases like canker and scab.
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, juicing and baking
Self Fertile: Variety dependent

Plant your cordon apple tree in a sunny spot in any fertile, well-drained soil. They are ideal for beds, borders, or large pots.
Cordons require annual pruning to keep their shape. Prune at the end of summer, cutting back new shoots that have grown over 20cm in length to one leaf after the basal cluster.
In late August, trim shoots longer than 20cm, cutting back to one leaf beyond the basal cluster, which marks the start of the year's growth.
During winter, if the fruiting spurs on your tree become too crowded, you can thin out older spurs that haven't fruited well recently.
Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and caterpillars, and diseases such as canker and scab.
