Bare Root = 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 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
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.

situation

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 are self fertile.

Decent 1 year maiden, will wait to see how it establishes.

I got a good, healthy, blemish-free crop off it the first year, good sized crabs and a nice red to green colour. They're quite early so don't last on the tree. I think mine were all gone by October the birds took what I didn't. Last year they were a bit scabby, but I've not given it very much room so it isn't a fare review for last year. I would chose this only if you want an early crab for jelly and jams or just really like the look of the fruit which are very nice. Size, getting on for 3 cm. A nice plant but give it some room. :-)

I come back to Blackmoors time and time again because the fruit stock is second to none; the customer service is excellent; the packaging is sturdy; despatch is swift ie a few days rather than weeks. Again, this John DownieI have just received is one fine specimen. Thankyou so much everyone at Blackmoors. I love my tree!

Very pleased with this lettle tree, considering it was the first season it performed very well indeed. I had a crop of 18 apples on it. Highly recommended for cider making and a pretty little tree in the garden as well.
