The Highlights

Said to be the finest tasting apple in the world
Lacks flavour when picked early and doesn't store well so supermarket apples pack nowhere near the same punch as fresh picked
You can also make the best juices with Coxs. Particularly good for making chutneys and preserves too
Mid season harvest - pick Sept-Oct. Store for 1 month max
Self fertile - will produce good crops without pollination
Cordon trained Max size H2m x W1m (Perfect for growing in a pot, on a patio or in a smaller garden)
M26 Rootstock - Max size H3m x W3m
MM106 Rootstock - Max size H4m x W4m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
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

Care Guide

Water in well when planting - read on for ongoing care

Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only water in dry spells when needed. You should be able tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have a established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavy and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.MORE

No need to feed

Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!MORE

Know Your Plant

Supplied as:

Bare Root

Our bare root trees are lifted fresh from the field, wrapped in a moisture retentive covering and packed straight away. You can be sure they will be fresh when they arrive. In winter, you can store for several weeks if kept in a cool, dark spot. Later in spring, when the temperature rises, you will want to plant within a few days of arrival.

Height on arrival:

130-150cm

Eventual height:

Eventual spread:

Tasting notes:

Wonderfully aromatic, with a sweetness and a sharp edge

Time to first crop:

1 year

You may see your first apples the first year after planting, but don't expect substantial crops until the 3/4th year. Some advise thinning the fruit in the first few years so that the tree can concentrate its energy on establishing strong roots and growing.

Hardiness:

Fully Hardy

Doesn't require any protection from frost

Pollination group:

Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other, which helps produce fruit if not self fertile, and can still improve yields even if they are. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1, 2, and 3

Uses:

Eating

Rootstock:

M26 Dwarfing

Apple tree varieties are usually grown by grafting them to rootstocks. This has benefits for pest resistance, genetics and the efficiency of propagation. Importantly, it also limits the height of a tree to a more manageable, specific height. M26 apple trees tend to only reach 3m tall, perfect for smaller spaces or those afraid of stepladders.

Apple tree varieties are usually grown by grafting them to rootstocks. This has benefits for pest resistance, genetics and the efficiency of propagation. Importantly, it also limits the height of a tree to a more manageable, specific height. MM106 apple trees tend to reach 4m tall, ideal if you have space and would like plenty of apples!
