- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner for outstanding perfomance

How To Grow
Excellent Pest and Disease Resistance
This variety generally has few problems with diseases. It can have issues with cushion scale when grown outside as well as mealybugs and glasshouse red spider mites with grown in greenhouses or inside but problems are rarely serious.MORE
Full Sun to Partial Shade
You will want to plant somewhere the plant will receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight everyday during summer and spring. This variety can handled some partial shade where it receives its light as dappled shade.
Any fertile, well drained soil
If your soil is particularly clay heavy and gets waterlogged often, make sure you mix in plenty of organic matter and perhaps even gravel or perlite to help improve drainage.
Prune Annually
Pruning is best done in late Summer to early Autumn after flowering. Pruning is done in combination with training so you can tie in any new shoots to your structure and prune the ones you do not want or congest the plant to the nearest strong side shoot. Get rid of any weak, overcrowded or damaged shoots as necessary.

Excellent delivery and service
Well, the delivery was spot on, the tree looks healthy enough for a sleeping plant, although at the moment most of the branches are on one side of the trunk which in itself is bent banana-style. quite wonky. One can only hope that it grows into a fruitful plant with some character?

Nice sized tree in good condition
Time will tell on the quality of the product (bare-root apple trees), but the stems that arrived seemed in great condition and very well packaged so no damage in transit. Looking forward to Spring!

Very happy with purchase
Ms Arlene Bocking
Lovely tree
So happy with my purchase of my Braeburn Hillwell apple tree from Roots Plants. It arrived promptly, well packaged and in a good, healthy condition. I soaked it for an hour before planting and it's doing well. Looking forward to our home grown apples, in time.
Ms Arlene Bocking
It has picked up now and is growing well
It arrived in a heat wave and looked a little bit sorry for itself when planted out but it has picked up now and is growing well.
David Osborne
Good service all round
Arrived on time as the seller said it would and the courier gave me a time slot to track my parcel. It came well packaged and was of good quality for this time of year. It looks a good and healthy tree and will be planted up in a few weeks after the ground has been prepared. I’m pleased with my purchase.
