Bare Root Apple trees = Field grown trees that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
10 or 12 Litre Apple trees = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds. Freshly potted trees will not be rooted into the pot yet.
1 Year Maiden = A one year old tree and the size depends on the variety but in general they will be 125cm in height and will have some side branches.
2 Year Bush = A two year old tree that has been pruned back in the first winter to form a bush shape. Generally trees will be 140-160cm in height with multiple side branches. This height guide is an end of summer height.
3 Year Bush = A three year old tree that has been pruned to form a bush shape. Generally trees will be 140-160cm in height with multiple side branches. This height guide is an end of summer height.
2 Year Cordon = The term cordon simply refers to a single stem with short sideshoots (the fruiting spurs). This is usually trained angled to 45 degrees (oblique cordon), but can be trained singly vertically (also known as minarette)
2 Tier Espaliers - The term espalier refers to the way fruit trees are trained to grow against a wall. It makes the tree easier to prune and the fruit easier to pick. This decorative method was often used in traditional walled kitchen gardens and is perfectly suited to growing fruit in the smaller garden.
Stepovers - Cultivated since Victorian times, they are basically one tier espaliers that are low enough to simply ‘step over’ where necessary. These are useful to define borders with. Their short stem and a horizontal branch look equally good in front of ornamental borders or vegetables.
Pollination Made Simple
Most suburban situations provide good pollen due to the close proximity of other gardens. It is not always necessary to have pollinators if the bees and other pollinating insects are generous with their visits. If you have no other Apple tree close by then select two varieties in the same group or the adjoining group ie group 2 and 4 will pollinate group 3 as will any others in group 3. Some varieties of Apples are self fertile. Pollination chart for apple trees

I ordered my pot grown apple tree on a Wednesday and it was delivered the very next day in a very strong cardboard container so ten out of ten for delivery. Unfortunately i was not quite as impressed with the tree itself as pretty much of all the the branch growth is on one side, so we will have to wait and see how it turns out. Five out of ten for the tree.

Tree arrived yesterday, is now planted and hopefully there will be some fruit in a couple of years time. It arrived in good condition and looked very healthy.

Excellent cox-like apple. Mid-season where I live. Apples don't fall off tree when ripe and are firm, crisp and sweet. They keep OK too.

I have just taken delivery of my Fiesta apple tree as a birthday present. Having come from good Evesham stock I am very particular about the quality of my fruit trees and if possible always try to see them before purchasing. Having seen the Daily Telegraph article placing Blackmoor Nurseries as one of the top three fruit tree suppliers in the country my wife placed the order for me. It has arrived after only three days extremely well packed. It has a beautifully clean graft, has been well trained into a classic wine glass shape and is a very healthy looking specimen. It is in a completely different class to the sickly, poorly grafted, poorly pruned and shaped specimen that I saw at my local Wyevale Garden Centre. Thank you for not letting my wife down on an unseen purchase.

When is the best time to plant a fruit tree - Container grown apple trees can be planted at any time of the year. Bare Root apple trees can only be planted between the months of November - April.
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. There is more information on growing fruit trees in containers in our FAQ page.
How do I prune a fruit tree - Our Care Guide explains the basic principles of fruit tree pruning.
