Red Devil is a stunning eating variety. As the name suggests, this apple has a striking red flush! Strong, fruity taste and superb fruity strawberry flavour. Red stained flesh when it's fully ripe that procudes an incredible pink juice! Highly decorative and an excellent garden variety. The interesting name was inspired by the ‘Red Devil’ parachute display team. A healthy tree with a good disease resistance. Very popular garden apple in the UK, but also in France, Holland and Germany.

Root Stock: M27
Very Dwarf. Produces the true mini tree, varieties reaching no more than 2 metres with little support required, excellent for the small garden. Fruit size small. Good for triploids on strong soils but will stunt diploides on poor soils.

Planting Guide:
1. Choose a well drained position. Dig a square hole slightly larger than the pot, loosen the soil in the bottom.

2. Add some compost, a handful of bone meal or sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi over the root ball.

3. Make sure when planting that the trunk of the tree is not buried below the soil.

4. The tree stake should be at an angle, attached about 18 inches up the stem, with the stake on the side that the wind blows from, and the point of the stake driven into firm ground.

5. Note that the 3 ft diameter circle around the tree is free from grass, this means your tree is not competing with the grass for water.

6. The tree tie should be attached in a figure of eight, this provides a cushion between the stake and the stem of the tree.

7. Make sure your tree stays well-watered whilst it has leaves on and check the stake and tie are secure after blustery nights.
