Care guide

Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of each growing year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. Remove damaged or crossing branches during the dormant season. Pollination Information: This apple belongs to pollination group 3, so you will need to plant one other different variety of apple to guarantee cross pollination, and a subsequent bumper crop. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging

The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.
