Apple Trees

We offer a range of both heritage and modern apple varieties, all specially chosen to be great for organic gardens and suited to growing in Southwest England.

Our apples are available on three different rootstocks, which determine the height of your tree. Whether you only have room for a pot on the patio, want to plant a backyard orchard, or anything in between – there is an apple tree for you!

Choosing an Apple Variety

Finding the choice of varieties confusing? Some hints and tips to pick the right apple for you

Which Rootstock do I need?

All you need to know about rootstocks

Heritage Apples

Apples that have stood the test of time. A wide range of shapes and sizes, often with rich, complex flavours or other unusual qualities, from earlies in August to lates that keep until March

Modern Apples

Large, attractive apples that are crisp, crunchy, sweet and juicy, but may lack the complex flavours of some heritage varieties. Bred for commercial growing, so make productive, usually disease-resistant trees

Cookers

For the perfect crumble, pie, Devon apple cake, or simply stuffed with raisins and baked – look beyond the ubiquitous Bramley to a wider range of tastes and textures
