Mini Apple Tree
Malus 'Appletini'

  • Apples the size of a squash ball? Yes, please! 'Appletini' is a brilliant miniature cultivar, delivering seriously big flavour in seriously small packages.
  • This patio tree grows to just one-and-a-half metres tall (or so) making it perfect for smaller gardens, terraces and balconies.
  • A self-fertile variety, 'Appletini' doesn't need a pollination partner in order to bear fruit, just the one will do.
  • Highly-productive in spite of its diminutive size, the mini apples this tree produces are absolutely delicious and brilliant for children's lunchboxes.
  • Apple trees are designated with the Royal Horticultural Society's Plants for Pollinators status, indicating their appeal to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
  • Please note: this page includes selected AI-assisted imagery for illustrative purposes.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists

Start with a touch of continental sun

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
