Sunset (Malus domestica 'Sunset'), introduced in 1918, is similar to Cox's Orange Pippin, however, it has a major advantage in that it is more disease resistant and slightly earlier. The apples are identiable by their red stripes and orange flush over gold. Sunset apples have an appealing, bitter, intense flavour. A heavy cropping apple, Sunset makes for an excellent garden apple variety.

Month of Picking: September

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 C3.

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 C3, then another apple variety with code C2 or C4 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.

Choosing the type of tree and rootstock:

Dwarf Rootstock M27 (Patio Type Bush), supplied at a height of 1.0 metres and the tree will reach an approximate height of 1.8 metres

Dwarf Rootstock M9 (Cordon Type), supplied at a height of between 1.25 and 1.50 metres and the tree will reach an approximate height of 2.6 metres
