Apple Tree - Sunset
The best substitute for Cox's Orange Pippin in the North of England, Sunset is an apple tree of compact and tidy habit with the added attraction of very colourful blossom (some say it compares with Cherry). Firm and juicy, Sunset has a delicious flavour, is a regular cropper, and is resistant to frost.
Supplier : R.V. Roger Ltd.
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 Sunset apple trees are bare root,so they are only available between November and April. Duringlifting 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. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.
