Product details

Brand: Roots Plants

A very popular apple for its sweet, mellow taste, crisp skin and juicy flesh Reliable cropper, resistant to pest, disease and frost Excellent pollinator for other apple trees as flowers heavily for prolonged period Harvest from early October M26 Rootstock - Max size H3m x W3m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE MM106 Rootstock - Max size H4m x W4m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Not self fertile - Pollination Group 3 Requires pollination by another apple tree within a mile's radius. They need to flower at the same time. Apples in the same pollination group, or one either side, can pollinate each other. In built up areas it is unlikely that there won't be a suitable pollination partner within a mileMORE Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch. Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Having grown these before, i can say that the Spartan Apples are amazing and highly recommended. However, having purchased 4 trees form Roots, I have no idea if they will survive the delivery process that lacked water, cover, protection or any co-ordinated delivery arrangements. Fingers crossed.

Bare root plants arrived well packed. Roots were dry but as per instructions provided I have soaked and planted in the garden. Looks good now I have to wait until spring to see how they grow. Happy with the height of the plants.

As the tree is dormant it is hard to tell, but it looks healthy and was delivered with the stake and tie which made it easy to plant. We planted it having soaked the roots and it seems quite happy.

The apple tree came well packaged. It had fresh leaves growing on it and looked set to grow. I have planted it and so far, it seems to be settling in.

Another very strong healthy tree of roughly two years old. It wasn’t a step over as I’d hoped but otherwise good and I will train it as needed! Thankyou!

A few weeks after planting our new young tree has healthy foliage and blossom buds! No fruit expected this year but looking forward to a harvest maybe next year. Very happy with our little tree and hoping for a long and productive future

The tree arrived well packed with a reasonable root ball. It has been plantd, but I will not give an updated review until the spring when I will be able to comment more fully on its attributes. So far so good however.
