Description
- Duo fruit trees are a real sight to behold (with their Y or V shape) and offer greater fruiting options for those gardeners limited on space (this tree is grown on an M26 dwarfing rootstock)
- 'Jonagold' boasts seriously scrumptious, blush-coloured apples that eat, cook and store well (for several months)
- 'Golden Pearmain' was grown by Thomas Jefferson back in the late 18th century, and remains popular today thanks to the juiciness and flavour of its yellow-green apples (which have just a hint of acidity to round out the overall profile)
- Certified by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, your apple tree will attract bees and other beneficial wildlife to your garden
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- 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
- 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

How to grow
How to grow
Average pest and disease resistance
Like many apple trees, this duo tree can be affected by aphids, powdery mildews, canker and scab.
Water regularly while establishing
Established apple trees don't typically need much additional watering, apart from in hot and dry spells, but newly-planted apple trees benefit from regular watering during their first season to help their roots develop.
Full sun
Apple trees grow best in full sun where they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Any fertile, well-drained soil
Apple trees tend to grow best in fertile soil with ample drainage. If your soil is poor, then try working in some organic matter (like garden compost).
Feed every spring
Using a high-potassium fertiliser at the start of spring will benefit your apple tree.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
