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.

Pitmaston Pineapple
£16.50Availability: In stockOut of stock
A quite different and distinctive apple. Small golden yellow apples, oblong conical in shape covered with a fine russet. Sweet yet sharp. Honeyed flavour and nicely scented, but any pineapple flavour is difficult to distinguish. A neglected variety because of the apples small size, but this is a feature in itself. A variety well worth growing. A fruiting tree in the autumn is an impressive sight with the golden apples contrasting with the yet to fall leaves.
