Description -
The most famous cooking apple of all, producing large fruits with a sharp acidic flavour that are ideal for making delicious pies, crumbles and highly recommended by top chefs for making purees.
Planting:
In a sheltered location, dig a hole big enough so that the top of the root ball is level with the soil. Firm the soil around the rootball. Water well. In early spring, apply a balanced general purpose fertiliser around the base of the tree.
Grows best in deep moist well drained soil.
Prune each winter, aim to create an open goblet shape with the framework of 4-5 main branches. Remove growth from the centre of the tree and crossing, damaged or diseased shoots. Shortened the previous years growth on each main branch by about 1/3, leave young side shoots unpruned so they can develop fruit buds in the second year.
