On this tree, you will receive the following mix of eating apples. ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’ self fertile: – A popular and high-yielding apple, with a rich flavour and delicious aroma. ‘Fiesta’: (syn. ‘Red Pippin’) A heavy cropper producing crisp, aromatic fruits. One of the best for colder regions. ‘Herefored Russet’: These exceptional fruits taste delicious straight from the tree, but they will also store well. Garden care: Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. Remove damaged or crossing branches during the dormant season. Pollination information: As these trees are made up of several different varieties that can cross pollinate freely, you will not need another pollinating partner.
