Collection: Special Apple Varieties
For your interest and pleasure we offer small, one year grafted rootstocks of interesting varieties that are rare in the UK. They take the form of bare rooted whips pruned to at least four buds above the G212 rootstock. They were grafted last year, grown in tall 2 litre pots and have spent half their life in a polytunnel. To make economic sense they are pruned to fit a 60cm package and sent by Royal Mail. They are priced to reflect the work that has gone into sourcing them.
Minimum purchase is £20.00 and that would attract postage/packaging of £9.00
Sent bare rooted on arrival their roots should be place momentarily in water then either put into the ground or potted up to await planting in your preferred location. The key is to get vigor in their first year - so you must do all you can to encourage this by using a polytunnel, greenhouse, conservatory or similar to lengthen the season.
Happy days.
