| TOP FRUIT | ||
| We've brought
back a few old favorites, and added to our selection of old Irish apples. Quantities of some varieties may be limited, so early booking is advisable. |
||
| APPLES Eaters, Dual Purpose, Cookers, | ||
| Maidens 1 year €14 each | €12 each if ordering 10 or more Apples | |
| 2 yr €16 each | €14 each if ordering 10 or more Apples | |
| Pollination | ||
| Most apples need a pollinator belonging to the same group (A, B or C) or to the group immediately above or below it | ||
| An asterisk* = two different pollinators needed. | Sf = self fertile Tp = Tip bearer | |
| Rootstocks | ||
| Our trees this year
are a selection of
M26 (small tree) or
MM106 (Larger tree especially suitable for
poor ground). The relative vigour of each variety also affects the eventual size. We also have a few older trees from €20, too big for posting but available from our nursery. See our taller trees Apples marked R are suitable for planting under REPS (Ireland) and C are suitable under the CMS (Northern Ireland). These trees are all on MM106 as specified by REPS or CMS. |
