Family Tree Cox/Fiesta/Hereford Russet - 2 Year Bush 12 Litre

Cox's Orange Pippin Dessert Apple - Regarded by many as the best of all eating apples. Aromatic, juicy, crisp with superb flavour. This variety is now self fertile. Fruits are golden, flushed with orange to red medium size fruits. Fiesta Dessert Apple - An outstanding new apple variety for people who would like to grow Cox's Orange Pippin but can't. Received the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1987. Cox is one of the parents and all of the aroma and nuttiness are present. Fiesta is a heavy cropping variety. Fruits are brightly coloured with a yellow background. Size is medium to large and the shape is rather flat to round. Picking time early October. Hereford Russet Dessert Apple - A modern variety that is the russet with a Cox-like flavour. Fruits are deep golden amber russetted. Exceptional eating quality with a rich, aromatic flavour and a winner in ‘taste testings’ around the country. The tree is well spurred, well shaped and moderately vigorous. The fruit set is heavy with small to medium sized fruit. A genuine resemblance to Cox but much easier to grow, far less troublesome and disease resistant. A very hardy variety that can be grown succesfully in any part of the UK. History: Bred by Hugh Ermen in 2002 in Kent, England. Picking time late October and the fruit stores until January.

Family Apple Growing Tips.

Three varieties grafted onto one tree makes this an ideal tree for pollination purposes and a selection of different varieties to extend the season. If you only have space for one tree in your garden then a family tree is the right choice. The varieties will cross pollinate each other to ensure maximum crops year after year.How to grow a Family apple tree in my garden - Our Care Guide for fruit trees will help you get the very best from your tree.

When is the best time to plant a multi grafted fruit tree - Container grown apple trees can be planted at any time of the year.

Planting distance for apple trees - All fruit trees are grafted onto a rootstock. It is the rootstock that determines how big the apple tree will grow into. There is a rootstock guide on the left hand side of all fruit tree product pages that explains this. As tall as the tree will grow into would be the planting distance. Example MM106 will grow to 3-4 metres when mature. So a spacing of between 3-4 metres would be required.

Can I grow a apple tree in a pot - All fruit trees will be happy growing in a large container. A pot around 50-60cm is ideal.
