Culinary & Dual Purpose Apple Trees

The majority of Ken Muir’s apple trees are grafted on M26 semi-dwarfing rootstocks making them most suitable for bush trees, cordons and espaliers. Bush apple trees on M26 grow to 2.5-3.5m (8-12ft) in height and should be spaced 3-4.5m (10-15ft) apart

Apples are separated into pollination groups according to when they flower, starting with the earliest flowering varieties as group A, group B a little later and so on. Varieties within the same pollination group will usually cross pollinate one another because they flower at the same time. Varieties in adjacent pollination groups will also serve as pollinators for one another because in most seasons there is sufficient overlap of pollen resulting from an overlap in the flowering period.

If you intend to train your fruit trees into a particular form (e.g.espaliers, stepovers or cordons), please leave us clear instructions in the 'Add comments about your order' box, when going through checkout and we will choose trees with suitable budding. 

Apple trees are available for delivery from late November until late March.
