Jumbo Apple Tree

Only released in 2000, Jumbo (Malus domestica 'Jumbo) is the result of a cross between the apple varieties Red Charles Ross x Tetraploid Jonathan. The apples are particularly attractive, being flushed and striped red on a pale green background with a deep red blush and attractive red flecks. Golden cream flesh. The apples are very large and dual purpose, being particularly good for baking as they retain their colour. For eating fresh they have a good acidic, aromatic flavour. Tree vigour is moderately strong. Needs no sugar for cooking.

Month of Picking: SeptemberType of Apple: Eating/Cooking

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

Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.

Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Fruit Tree?
9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you. 

Climate Change
Climate Change has increased aesthetic foliage issues such as Powdery Mildew, Shothole, Rust, frost damage etc These are not terminal issues and will usually last a season or less. All trees are inspected before being sent out to ensure they are fundamentally healthy and will bounce back. 

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden 
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy. 

Fruit Tree Heights
Taller does not mean more value for money. A 1 year old fruit tree can easily be substantially higher than a 2 year old, this is because they are hard pruned at 1 year old to create the desired shape. Some trees have over 100cm of height removed. They can then have another pruning at 2 years old to increase fruit growing real estate. Most fruit trees will benefit from having a third to half of the seasons new growth cut back in the Autumn to prevent long whippy branches which break easily. Age and pruning completed determine real value. 

Apple Tree Jargon Explained

  MM106 Grows to a final height of around 3.6 metres. Usually delivered around 150-180cm for 2-3 year tree.  
  MM106+ Grows to a final height of around 3.6 metres. Usually delivered around 180-240cm for 2-3 year tree.  
  M9 Grows to a final height of around 2.5 metres. Usually delivered around 150-180cm for 2-3 year tree.  
  M26 Grows to a final height of around 3.0 metres. Usually delivered around 150-180cm for 2-3 year tree.  
  M27 Grows to a final height of around 1.5 metres. Usually delivered around 150-180cm for 2-3 year tree.  
  CORDON Pruned to produce apples very quickly (1-3 years), favoured with commercial growers. More columnar than round shape. Less of a harvest compared to MM106.  
  BUSH Clear stem of 45cm before branches grow out.  
  HALF STANDARD Clear stem of 1 m. Conventional tree shape allowing easy grass mowing or companion planting.  
  MAIDEN 1-2 years old, no pruning or shaping. Blank slate for you to shape and train.  
  PATIO Shaped to produce compact bush proportional for pot size, ideal for container growing.  
  (12L), (3L) etc The size of the pot measured in litres.  
  SELF FERTILE Will produce fruit without another apple tree nearby.  
  C1,C2,C3,C4,C5 If your apple tree is NOT SELF FERTILE (they will be listed f they are) then you will need a second apple tree nearby of a similar number i.e. the same or one above or one below. So an apple tree from a C3 requires a C2, C3 or C4 planted close by for it to produce fruit. Triploids are an exception, see below.  
  Bare Root Available from November to March only. Comes with no pot or dirt around roots and is cheaper than potted options. Orders purchased outside this time will be held for delayed delivery until the next season starts.  
  TRIPLOID You have a selfish tree. It will be pollinated by other trees but the pollen it has to offer is useless. See TRIPLOID POLLINATION for more information.  

Apple Tree Ages and heights

All our apple trees have been pruned and shaped to get the best results and are inspected by an apple tree expert before being sent to you. Maiden apple trees are 1-2 years old, the rest are 2-3 years old. Heights vary depending on root stock however 1.5 to 2+ metres tall is an average apple tree height at delivery.
