Cider Apples
An expanding selection of cider apple trees are offered for sale on that will produce high quality Cider. Cider apples are divided into Bittersweets, Bittersharps, Sweets & Sharps. We offer mostly Bittersweets with a few from the other categories.
Some varieties are also dual purpose including 'Ten Commandments' & 'Tom Putt'. We offer cider apple trees on two rootstocks: MM106 – moderate vigour & M25 – vigorous.
Trees are available as bare-rooted one year ‘maiden’ trees.
Cider apples require a pollination partner. Each variety has a flowering period through May. A variety can be pollinated by another of the same flowering period or one to either side. Cider apples tend to flower later than other apples so for pollination compatibility should be considered on their own.
Discount information: 5% on 5+ trees, 10% on 10+ trees. Delivery cost: based on quantity ordered. See the How to Order page for more details.
Cider Apple trees are dispatched between late November and late March when dormant.
