Plant List

Apple (Espalier)
 Spartan
11.70m30cm x 30cmA very distinct apple with its round conical shape and maroon coloured skin colour. Another feature is that the skin often has a bloom which can easily be polished off. Sometimes grown as commercial variety but very good in the garden. Often heavily fruiting so if thinned early summer larger apples will be produced. The flesh is white and of good flavour with hints of strawberry and melon! Rootstock: MM106 Stores until January
Apple (Espalier)
 Red Falstaff
11.75m30cm x 30cmA red sport of Falstaff introduced in 1986. Fruits slightly oblong with flattened ends largely covered bright red. Of very good flavour, crisp and juicy. Heavy yielding, disease-resistant and a good pollinator. Excellent flavoured fruits that keep well. Rootstock: MM106 Stores until March
Apple (Espalier)
 Kidd's Oramge Red
11.70m30cm x 30cmMid season dessert apple of very good flavour sweet, juicy & aromatic. Apples crimson flushed with small areas of russet which contribute to its distinct appearance. Medium sized conical apples. Arose in New Zealand as a result of a breeding programme involving the best English & North American apples, Cox being the English apple. Rootstock: MM106 Stores until January

Plum (Fan)
 Victoria
21.70m3.00m x 30cmMost well-known plum. Deservedly popular and the main commercial plum in the UK. Though not top quality as a dessert it is very nice to eat when ripe and cooks & preserves well. Large in size, oval in shape with pale red skin & yellowish green flesh. Self-fertile, good pollinator. Reliable heavy cropper. First arose in Sussex around 1840. St Julien A rootstock.
