Dessert Apples - an introduction
All available as 'maidens' bare rooted from November when dormant. 'Maidens' are one year trees 1m - 2m tall depending on the variety. Again depending on the variety they may or may not have branching.
Apples require a pollination partner. Each variety has a flowering period between A - early and E - late. A variety can be pollinated by another of the same flowering group or one to either side.
