5 apple trees, Great Value!
Collection comprises 5 (4 eating & 1 cooking) trees (1 of each variety):
Self Fertile Queen Cox (picture 1) - This self-fertile clone sets
good crops without the need for pollinators. Fruit is juicy and sweet,
with the typical mellow 'Cox' taste, although it has a deeper red flush
than the usual Cox. Pick from late September, and eat all the way through
to January; Apache (picture 2) - We're delighted to be able to
offer this splendid self-fertile early apple which is regarded by many
authorities as being the finest flavoured early. Eat it straight from the
tree in early September and enjoy its rich juiciness yourself!;
Egremont Russet (picture 3) - A self-fertile mid-season variety -
undoubtedly the best of the russetted apples - with a very keen
following. It reliably produces a heavy crop of distinctive russet-bronze
fruits, with crisp solid flesh and a rich, nutty flavour that is perfect
with cheese! Pick in October for eating through to January; Braeburn
(Clone Helena) (picture 4) - Braeburn is one of the best-selling
varieties in Britain and can now (thanks to this earlier cropping new
clone) be grown very successfully in UK gardens. Pick from mid October
and store for up to 4 months without losing the superb crisp texture!;
Bramley (Clone 20) (picture 5) - 2009 is the year of the Bramley
as it's now 200 years since this most famous cooking apple was discovered
as a chance seedling in a Nottinghamshire garden. Why not celebrate by
planting your own Bramley tree? Our clone 20 is a big improvement on
regular Bramley. It's less vigorous and more controllable in the garden
and will also give you a significantly heavier crop. Deservedly renowned
for its excellent cooking qualities. Note that it needs at least two
other apples in the locality for pollination. Pick October for use
throughout winter.
Our apples are grafted onto an M9 rootstock which
produces an easy-to-control semi-dwarf tree with medium vigour.
