Apple (Malus) Red Falstaff Bush - 12L

Red Falstaff is one of the best garden apple varieties for the UK, the select red sport of ‘Falstaff ’. Fruity, well balanced flavour, crisp and a very juicy apple which is great for home-juicing. Red flushed skin over greenish-yellow. Best when eaten fresh straight from the tree! One of the heaviest yielding varieties that keep very well and can be eaten throughout the winter. Highly recommended for every garden!

Root Stock: M26
Semi Dwarf. Useful for those wanting a cmpact free-standing tree. There is enough vigour for covering walls as fan-trained trees and spur pruned forms such as traditional crodons. Requires support on most sites. Good for bush and cordons in limited spaces.

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.
