Features

Cox Apple Tree

Cox’s Orange Pippin is a reliable and traditional apple tree variety, renowned for producing good crops of fresh fruits with excellent flavour and an attractive appearance. The apples are of a medium size in an orange-red colour, which become carmine mottled over a deep yellow background. The flesh is very aromatic, fine-grained, crisp and very juicy. They are of a moderately acidic flavour, which becomes softer and milder when mature. Cox’s Orange Pippin is one of the best in quality of the English dessert apples. They taste great eaten as they are, or sliced and used in a salad. For more details please click here.

Bramley’s Seedling Cooking Apple Tree

The Bramley’s Seedling is the definitive English cooking apple. The fruits cook down to a smooth puree and as such are ideal for pies, crumbles, sauces, etc. They are famous for their sharp, acidic flavour and heavy crops. The fruits store well, lasting up for 3 months, so you will be able to enjoy great tasting apple dishes throughout the winter season and into the new year. The ‘Bramley’s Seedling’ has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit given by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which helps gardeners make informed choices about plants.

Scrumptious Dessert Apple Tree

This apple is something special. The pale pink blossom is fragrant and relatively frost hardy. The fruits develop a gorgeous glowing deep red skin. The aromatic flesh is sweet and crisp but not too sugary. This is a wonderful dessert to eat fresh from the tree and with the benefit of having thin skin, loved by children. A recent introduction, this apple tree has been carefully bred for UK gardens. Frost hardy and disease resistant,especially to scab, ‘Scrumptious’ has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit given by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which helps gardeners make informed choices about plants.

Fruit Benefits

These fruits taste best when freshly picked from their branches. They please even the most sophisticated of palates, and can be made into jams and preserves to bring great summer memories on autumn or winter days. Fruit plants are a valuable addition to any garden, bearing in mind that they do not only provide fruits, but also make a bold statement in garden arrangements by producing clouds of pink and white flowers, which at the slightest breeze fall like raindrops. When planning your garden, try to choose varieties with fruits that ripen from early summer to late autumn to ensure a constant supply of fresh fruits throughout the warmer months.
