‘Sunset’ Apple Tree

‘Sunset’ Apple Tree

• After a guided tour by our apple tree grower, this variety came out as the favourite!
• Amazing taste, comparable with ‘Cox’ (one of its parents).
• A lot easier to grow than ‘Cox’, with none of the pest/disease problems.
• You can expect much better crops. Thin the fruits in June to encourage larger apples if you’re finding them too small.
• Harvest in mid-September; these apples don’t keep particularly well so enjoy them while they last!
• RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.
• M26 Rootstock – Max size H3m x W3m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
• Partially self-fertile (will produce crops without a pollinating partner).
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
