Type: Eating

Colour: Red

Flavour: Sweet

Harvest: October

Storage: January

Pollination Group: 2  can be pollinated from trees in pollination groups 1, 2 and 3

Position: Apples prefer a sheltered, frost-free position in full sun.

Planting: All the trees sold at Ashwood are containerised and can be planted at any time of year. They will thrive in a well-drained loamy soil, at least 60cm (2ft) deep. Add rotted organic matter before planting mulch and water throughout the growing season until established. Dessert apples need good drainage, cooking apples being more tolerant will tolerate some shade.

Pollination: Apples do not fruit well on their own, needing a pollination partner for optimum production. For the best crops choose a tree from same pollination group

or adjacent pollination groups and plant within about 20m (60ft) of each other.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
