Apple Tree - Nonpareil

Apple Tree - Nonpareil

Nonpareil was traditionally introduced from France by a Jesuit in the 16th century, although its first documentary record dates from 1696, in London. Grown in a sunny spot for the sugars to form fully, this ancient variety of apple tree can produce outstandingly-well flavoured fruit. Highly prized throughout the C18th and C19th, Nonpareil was often grown in pots and used as a decorative feature in parterres, as the fruit hangs on the tree for a long time.

See our section on Pollination Groups to help you select your apple trees.

We supply apple trees on the most vigorous rootstocks available. They were created specifically for use in the UK and produce healthy, heavy cropping trees for our weather conditions.

M106 produces a good garden sized apple tree, around 4 metres tall. Grown as a free standing tree it won't need staking, although initially best to use a cane to support your new plant. M25 rootstock will produce the 6m standard trees of a traditional orchard, where they would be planted between 6 and 8 metres apart. Please refer to our size guide for details.

All our apple trees are bare root so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
