Description

NEW! Two varieties of dessert apple and a cooking apple grafted onto a single tree:

Apple 'Gala'

A very popular dessert apple producing heavy crops of bright red flushed fruits. Crisp and juicy with a sweet perfumed flavour reminiscent of pear drops. The blossom has good resistance to late frosts. Resistant to mildew. Very attractive blossom. Season: Oct - Jan.

Apple 'Lord Lambourne'

A popular traditional English dessert apple, over 100 years old. Bursting with juice, the brightly coloured fruits are crisp, sweet and aromatic. Can be relied upon to crop both heavily and regularly almost anywhere in the UK. Season: late Sept - Nov.

Apple 'Newton Wonder'

Discovered c1870, this cooking apple is a popular garden variety. The fruits are large with a red flush. Cooks to a cream, juicy puree with a mild, brisk flavour that is slightly sweeter than Bramley. The tree is heavy cropping and resistant to scab and canker. Suitable for the north and wet regions. Season: Nov - March.

More Info

Family fruit trees are ideal for small gardens where there is only room for a single tree. They consist of two (duo trees) or three compatible varieties grafted onto one tree, allowing you to grow several different varieties in a relatively small amount of space. The varieties are carefully selected to cross-pollinate with one another so that they all get a good fruit set. Family trees are grafted onto semi-dwarfing rootstocks.

Bare root trees are only available when they are fully dormant (usually from late November/December until late April). Where we quote a height on despatch, this includes the root system.

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).
