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 C4. 

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 C4, then another apple variety with code C3 or C5 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:
