The highlights
- Picturesque, upright patio tree
- Small tree - grows up to 1.5m (when pruned)
- Dainty pink blossoms
- Self-fertile (doesn't need a partner)
Description
- 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.

Any moist, well-drained compost

Europe
Meet Josh'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, Josh 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 South Downs, to toughen them up for UK gardens.

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 😂🌱
