A well established (and popular) apple. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Ultimate size on MM106 rootstock: 4.5 x 4.5m (12 x 12ft) Flowering period: April and May Hardiness: fully hardy Pollination Group: this apple belongs to pollination group 2 (flowering mid-season) Widely grown commercially, this mid-season apple is sought-after for its greenish yellow fruits, which have a deliciously sweet and crunchy flesh, that offers a hint of nuttiness. ‘Egremont Russet’ has stood the test of time – and has remained popular since it was discovered in Sussex in the 18th century. The apples will typically be ready to harvest in late September or October. Garden care: These bare root plants should be planted out as soon as possible after delivery. Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. The main prune should be done in the winter as long as it isn’t frosty or freezing. Take out the 3D’s (dead, dying and diseased wood) and create an open shape. Then reduce the leaders back by a third. Aim to create an airy structure without any crisscrossing branches. Summer prune in August by shortening any side shoots (or laterals) which are longer than 20cm back to three leaves. This will allow the sun to ripen the fruit and encourage more fruit buds. Make sure that the growth you’re cutting away feels firm to the touch. Pollination Information: This apple belongs to pollination group 2, so you will need to plant one other different variety of apple to guarantee cross pollination, and a subsequent bumper crop. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group, however it is possible to use one from group 1 or 3 as well.
