This is because it is SELF FERTILE and can be planted by itself and still produce apples. This means you can pretty much plant these where ever you like. Usual exceptions apply such as submarine window box and active volcano orchards.

Family Apple Tree (Bramley 20, Christmas Pippin and Scrumptious)

Enjoy three different apple varieties from one tree with this Family Apple Tree, combining Bramley 20, Christmas Pippin and Scrumptious. Each variety is grafted onto the same rootstock, giving you both cooking and dessert apples from one tree without needing space for three separate apple trees.

Scrumptious starts the season in September with attractive red dessert apples. The fruit has a sweet, fragrant, honeyed flavour and Scrumptious is also self-fertile, making it a particularly useful and reliable variety to have on a family tree.

Christmas Pippin follows in mid-autumn, producing crisp, juicy and sweet dessert apples with creamy, aromatic flesh. The fruit stores well until around Christmas, extending your supply of home-grown eating apples into winter.

Bramley 20 provides the cooking apples. It produces large, sharp-flavoured apples that cook down to a well-flavoured, cream-coloured puree, making them ideal for pies, crumbles, sauces and other cooked dishes. Bramley 20 is around 20% less vigorous than the original Bramley’s Seedling while retaining its excellent cooking qualities, and the fruit can be stored into early spring.

The combination also works well for pollination. Scrumptious and Christmas Pippin have compatible flowering periods and provide the pollination required by Bramley 20. Bramley 20 itself is triploid and is not an effective pollinator for the other varieties.

Together, the three varieties provide a long apple season from September into early spring. Scrumptious gives you an early dessert crop, Christmas Pippin follows through autumn and stores towards Christmas, while Bramley 20 provides cooking apples from mid-autumn that can be stored well into the following year.

Our Family Apple Trees are supplied on semi-vigorous MM106 rootstock, producing a manageable tree of approximately 3.6 metres in height. This makes them an excellent choice for gardeners who want a useful range of cooking and eating apples but only have room for one tree.

Apple Tree Jargon Explained

	MM106	Grows to a final height of around 3.6 metres. Usually delivered around 120-180cm for 2-3 year tree and usually bush form (check before buying if important)
	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 120-180cm for 2-3 year tree.
	M26	Grows to a final height of around 3.0 metres. Usually delivered around 120-180cm for 2-3 year tree and usually bush form.
	M27	Grows to a final height of around 1.5 metres. Usually delivered around 120-150cm for 2-3 year tree and usually bush form.
	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.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden

Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. Corners of houses and fences can also suffer leaching issues so we advise against it.
