This is an extremely old English apple tree variety, Devonshire Quarrenden (Malus domestica 'Devonshire quarrenden') and was first reported as appearing in Devon or France in 1676, so that may cast doubt on its English claims!  The apples are notable for their strong berried flavour, thus sweet and juicy with a good acidic taste.  The apples are flushed with dark crimson colour over a yellow background.

Month of Picking: August

Type of Apple: Eating

Self-fertile/Not self-fertile: This apple is not self-fertile and requires another apple to act as a pollination partner. 

This apple is in flowering period is C1. 

How to chose a suitable pollination partner:

To make it easy to match this apple with a suitable pollination partner we have used a series of codes, which are C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and relate to flowering periods.  Every apple variety we sell will have one of these codes. 

The code we have given this apple tree means that you need to find another apple with the same code or one less or one more, so for example if the apple is code C1, then another apple variety with code C2 would be necessary to act as a reliable pollination partner.

This variety of apple tree is supplied in a 12 litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.

Available on the following rootstock:

Semi-Vigorous Rootstock MM106 (Bush), supplied at a height of between 1.25 and 1.50 metres and the tree will reach an approximate height of 3.6 metres
