Malus domestica ‘Red Falstaff’ is a late-season, heavy-cropping dessert apple with lovely, pinkish white flowers blooming in April and May, and abundance of delicious, very balanced, crisp and juicy, orange-red apples, ready for harvesting in October. Apples can be stored throughout the winter. Malus domestica ‘Red Falstaff’ likes deep, fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Very acidic and chalk soils should be avoided. It thrives in full sun. It is very resistant to frost and tolerant of wind, but needs to be sheltered form harsh winter winds. Suitable for colder climates. It is self-fertile and an excellent pollinator for other varieties. It has a good disease resistance. Some pruning and fruit thinning may be required. Apple 'Red Falstaff' is an excellent dessert apple, a reliable and heavy cropper, perfect for informal, cottage, and urban gardens. Suitable for growing in containers. Very tasty when eaten fresh, but also great when used for culinary purposes.

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.
