is this your dwarf apple tree that hywel told me about?

Yes Sticki it is one of the Dawrf's, but believe me...The cookeing apples from it are definately not small...Lol

so would you recommend it? if i can only have one which would be the best one to get?

6 Feb, 2011

 

Yes Sticki, I would recommend a dwarf if you only have the room for a smallish tree. It just means a bit more regular pruning to keep them small. This one is actually a Bramly, but we alsio have Falstaff and Braeburn and a Conference Pear, and they all fruit pretty well...

oooh braeburn ~ my favourite apple ~ has that grown without any trouble? have you got it in a pot or in the ground?

7 Feb, 2011

 

Sticky they are in the ground and actually make a backdrop for the flower border.....Yes they braeburn is lovely, but I do find the Falstaff has a more sweetened flavour and is very crispy....We have found as well that 1 follows the other in ripening so we have a longer spell of fresh apples. The falstaff being 1st. Needless to say Im sure they would be fine in really large pots...We got them all from Ken Muir's place in Colchester, and have never had a bad year from them...Got a nectarine as well... that is in a pot so it can be put under the lean to during winter to prevent Peach leaf curl....

does ken muir send things in the post cos colchester is a long way from here ~ i like that idea as a backdrop ~ sounds lovely and could do with some mid height things ~ we have woods beyond us and dont want to take away the view. how tall are they? i guess 2 are better than 1 ~ does that help with polination? also how much sun do they need? sorry to ply you with questions.

8 Feb, 2011

 

No probs Sticki....The friut trees are about 5 and a half feet and the nectarine is about 3 feet high. I think the only one that needs another to help polination is the paer, but as we have one in the garden next door that wasnt a problem. Yes Ken Muir do send out stuff by post I do have a 2011 brochure if you would like it pm me your address or you could go on their website kenmuir.co.uk
