Duo Apple Tree
'Jonagold' & 'Golden Pearmain'
- 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 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
