First introduced in 1980 (Kent), Winter Gem (Malus domestica 'Winter Gem') is a cross between the apple varieties Grimes Golden x Cox's Orange Pippin. Wins flavour contests consistently. Winter Gem apples are of exceptional quality with an appealing pink flush. Rich and aromatic in flavour. A strong growing variety, it does need good pollination and some years its yeilds are variable. Best on a dwarf rootstock such as M27 or M9.

Month of Picking: October

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.

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
