Description

These specially grafted 'Duo' fruit trees let you grow two different varieties of fruit on just one tree!

They are ideal if you love the thought of picking your own home-grown, tree-fresh fruit but do not have lots of space, because each tree carries two different fruit varieties.

Every tree is carefully 'double-grafted' onto a dwarfing rootstock by skilled nurserymen, helping it remain compact and manageable in the garden. They are also well suited to growing in a large patio pot.

Each tree is already trained into an attractive V-shape, making it a great choice for growing against a sunny wall too. Supplied as a 1.15m bare root, grower quality tree.

Apple 'Braeburn' - The UK's most popular eating apple variety by far and will easily grow and flourish superbly in your garden! The crisp and juicy white-fleshed fruits have what is considered by most to be the perfect sweet/tangy flavour balance, literally providing a flavour explosion with every mouthful! The gorgeous fruit will be ready to pick fresh from your tree by mid-October each season and will store well until the end of January if kept chilled but frost free. Crops: October.

Apple 'Bramley' - Considered 'The King Of Cooking Apples' by respected chefs and professional fruit growers, it is the world's best known and favourite cooking apple, standing the test of time over 200 years! It is considered supreme because its fruits have the perfect acidic flavour required for use in the kitchen and the almost pure-white flesh becomes incredibly light and fluffy when cooked. 'Bramley' is an incredibly heavy cropper once established with high quality fruits that will store through the winter months pick them in early October (before they get over-ripe) and store cold but frost free for use until January. Crops: October.

Top Tips

Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to the roots when planting to help establish your tree more quickly.
Place your tree in a sunny position for the best crops.

Care Information

Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone, in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
Established trees don't require radical pruning; just take off any diseased, dying and damaged branches. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches and remove any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or overripe fruit on the ground.
Don't forget the tree guards, as rabbits can strip the bark overnight.
