A wide selection of dessert apple trees are offered for sale. To buy and grow your own apple tree gives you the opportunity to indulge in the many tastes that they offer. From the sharp sweetness of Fiesta to the drier nutty flavour of Egremont Russet or Adam’s Pearmain. To pick and eat an apple straight from the tree is to eat it at its best.
As fruit tree growers we offer a wide selection of dessert apple trees for sale including many traditional varieties that have been with us for many years as well as some modern varieties developed in the UK and on the continent that taste great and have good disease resistance. Trees are available as barerooted one year ‘maiden’ trees.
Apples ripen through the autumn. You may wish to choose a selection of trees and spread the picking time. These details are provided for each variety. For a helpful overall guide click here. You can also see a summary on the ‘Picking & Storage’ advice page.
Apples require a pollination partner. Each variety has a flowering period between A – early and E – late. A variety can be pollinated by another of the same flowering group or one to either side. These details are provided for each variety. For an overall summary visit the pollination advice page.
