Apple Trees

Red Devil Apple plant is a deciduous, hardy, vigorous tree with a bushy, upright habit, attractive pink-white flowers, and stunning, deep red fruit. Its creamy flesh is white, but stained with red and produces beautiful pink juice. Red Devil apples ripen in mid-September and are harvested till mid-October. The fruit has juicy and moderately sweet and sharp taste with a hint of strawberry flavour. They store well and can be kept till January.

Red Devil Apple was bred by Hugh Ermen, in Faversham, Kent in 1975, and introduced in 1990 as an excellent, modern dessert apple. It is very resilient, generally disease-free, and adaptable to most weather conditions. It grows in almost any type of soil as long as it is moist and well-drained. It prefers full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. It is self-fertile and doesn’t need a pollination partner.

Root stock MM106 is a semi-dwarfing rootstock commonly used for apple trees. It offers a moderate growth rate, producing trees 10-15 feet tall when mature. Suitable for medium-sized gardens, MM106 ensures good fruit yield and adaptability to various soils. It's resistant to woolly apple aphid and moderately resistant to crown rot. Ideal for bush, cordons, and espalier forms. Ensure proper staking in early years.

Fiesta Red Pippin apple tree is an easy-to-grow apple tree with reliable yield developed in 1972. in the United Kingdom by crossing Cox’s Red Pippin and Idared apple. As a hybrid, Fiesta apple combined the qualities of these two apple varieties. It is similar in taste to Cox’s Red Pippin, but much easier to grow and last longer when stored after the harvest.

Fiesta Red Pippin plant is a bushy, deciduous tree available on different rootstocks to accommodate to wide variety of gardens. When grown on rootstocks, the tree fruits earlier. It has pretty pale pink flowers that emerge in spring and are followed by attractive and aromatic apples with smooth, yellow skin and orange-red striping in early October. The flesh is fine-grained, crisp, ivory to white. Pippin apples have a sweet, nutty, mildly acidic flavour and are mostly suited for eating fresh and for juicing.

James Grieve Apple is a hardy, deciduous tree suitable for cold climate zones. It is best grown in northerly areas with cold winters, moderate summer temperatures, and medium to high humidity. It’s an old apple variety, raised in 1893. in Edinburgh, Scotland, by James Grieve from pollination of Cox’s Orange Pippin and most likely Pott’s Seedling apple. Generally, a resilient plant, it needs some protection from harsh winds. It’s a good polliniser for other apples. It cannot be found in supermarkets because it is sensitive to pressure and easily bruised and cannot sustain supermarket handling.

James Grieve apples are medium to large, yellow-green, speckled and striped orange-red, with creamy, refreshing and very juicy flesh. At the beginning of season, it is sharp and perfect for cooking, retaining its shape when cooked. After a few weeks, it becomes milder and sweeter, like a firm pear in texture.

It prefers neutral, well-drained soil, and full sun in a sheltered position. It is generally disease-resistant and pest-resistant and tolerates frost very well. It is not self-pollinating. It needs to cross-pollinate with other apple trees. As a partial tip-barer, it can be grown in cordons and espaliers. Suitable for containers and large pots.

M26 is a semi-dwarfing rootstock (smaller than MM106) used for apple trees, particularly in orchards and home gardens. It produces trees 10-12 feet in height, making them easier to manage and harvest. M26 ensures early fruit production, good anchorage, and medium vigor. However, it requires staking during early years and is moderately susceptible to fire blight.

Laxton's Superb Apple is an old-fashioned, traditional, sweet, aromatic dessert apple. It was bred by Laxton Brothers in Bedford, UK in 1897. This apple plant is great for cold or exposed locations. It is fast-growing, but has a tendency to biennial bearing. It brings better crop when planted with another variety. It prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Doesn’t like very acidic soils, shallow chalk soils, and shade more than half of the day. Its flowers are pretty and fragrant, white with some pink, self-pollinating and long-lasting.

The fruit is green-yellow with orange-red blush and crisp firm flesh. It is similar to Cox’s Orange Pippin, which is one of its parents, but it is a bit superior with larger fruits, slightly richer flavour and better keeping qualities. Ready for harvesting in October, it can be stored till January. Late-season and heavy cropping.

M27 is an ultra-dwarfing rootstock for apple trees, resulting in trees that reach only 6-8 feet in height. Ideal for small gardens or container planting, M27 enables high-density orchards and easy harvesting. It induces early fruiting, often within 2-3 years of planting. Good soil preparation and staking are essential, as it offers limited vigor and anchorage. Regular watering and fertilizing are crucial for healthy growth.

Sunset apple is a heavy-cropping garden apple with upright, compact habit and attractive pale pink flowers that bloom in March. They are followed by small, round to ovate, golden-yellow and green fruit with red and orange striping. A white to ivory flesh is crisp, firm and fine-grained, sometimes tinged with green. It has sweet, sharp, aromatic flavour. Sunset Apple was bred in approximately 1918 by G. C. Addy at Ightham, Kent. One of the parent varieties is Cox’s Orange Pippin Apple. Sunset Apple was meant to be similar to it, but easier to grow. It is very resilient, generally disease-free, cold and frost resistant, therefore, suitable for growing even in northern parts of Europe. Doesn’t need a pollinating partner because it is self-fertile. It is not commercially grown because of its small size. Sunset apples are crispy and juicy, great for eating or cooking. When cooked, they retain their shape.

"Lord Lambourne" is a distinguished English dessert apple, celebrated for its tantalizing sweet-tart balance. Introduced in the early 20th century, its juicy, aromatic flesh and crisp texture make it a preferred choice for fresh eating.

The apple showcases an alluring appearance: a brilliant red flush gracefully juxtaposed against a yellow-green backdrop. When in full bloom, the tree becomes a sight to behold, draped in beautiful white blossoms that exude a subtle fragrance.

When grafted onto the M26 rootstock, "Lord Lambourne" becomes particularly suitable for those with limited garden space. M26 is a semi-dwarfing rootstock, ensuring that the tree remains relatively compact, typically reaching heights of 10-12 feet. This makes it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or orchards and for those who wish for more manageable tree sizes without compromising fruit quality.

The combination also brings about earlier fruiting, usually within 2-3 years of planting. However, it's worth noting that while "Lord Lambourne" can produce fruit alone, it thrives best with cross-pollination from another suitable apple variety. This ensures optimal fruit set and production.

In conclusion, "Lord Lambourne" on M26 is a perfect fusion of flavor and convenience, marrying delectable fruit with a tree size suited for compact spaces.
