Cordon Apple Trees

One of the best loved fruits, apples are probably the easiest tree fruits to grow and are very popular with gardeners. In the shops we only tend to see a handful of varieties, yet there are literally thousands of known cultivars, each having their own characteristics. We have very carefully selected what we believe to be a diverse range of varieties to suit all tastes and even the most challenging growing conditions - some are recent introductions and some are much loved gems from our heritage. Our apple trees are grafted onto M26 semi-dwarfing rootstock, which will produce a tree that is easy to grow, easy to control and easy to pick. Cordons should be restricted to 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft) in height and can be spaced 60cm (2ft) apart. To ensure rapid establishment, cordon apple trees are supplied bare-rooted and will be approximately 1-1.2m (3-4ft) tall on despatch (including the roots). Trees are available from late November to late April.

 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order. All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).

Cordon Apple 'Topaz'
£28.95Cordon Apple 'Topaz'Originating from the Czech Republic, this very disease resistant, modern dessert apple always does well in taste tests. It produces heavy crops of medium-large, orange-red striped, thin skinned apples. The flesh is crisp and juicy with a sweet-sharp flavour similar to Lord Lambourne and James Grieve (two favourite British apples which it is related to). The flavour becomes sweeter in storage. Although generally considered an eating apple, in the Czech Republic the fruits are often thinly sliced, mixed with raisins, sugar and cinnamon and wrapped in layers of puff pastry to make the most delicious apple strudel. An excellent choice for the garden as it is compact, reliable and easy to grow. Resistant to scab and mildew. Can be grown countrywide.Buy Now
