Pre-trained as a single-tier espalier, this tree is ideal for growing against a wall or fence. When mature, it takes up less area than a normal bush tree. See the Espaliers product category for details. Collection only, as it’s containerised and too bulky to deliver. Unlike most of our trees, we can supply espaliers all year round if we have them in stock.
A quite different and distinctive apple. You will not find another apple quite like Pitmaston Pineapple. Small golden yellow apples, oblong conical in shape covered with a fine russet. Sweet yet sharp. Honeyed yey nutty 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.
Not a variety that you would find in a supermarket – it is all they dislike! Small, yellow & spotty! yet its intense flavour blows all of these mass produced apples away
A very long established variety. Thought to be a seedling of Golden Pippin recorded in 1785 but introduced by John Williams 1773-1853, a Worcester businessman who had a variety of other interests including horticulture. He raised a number of established fruit tree varieties we grow including Apple Pitmaston Russet & Pear Pitmaston Duchess. A blue plaque was unveiled in his memory on July 3, 2015 at Pitmaston House in the city where he lived probably from 1804 until the end of his life.
