Description

The Annie Elizabeth Apple Tree produces abundant crops of large, culinary apples prized for their sweet flavour and excellent cooking qualities, maintaining their shape when baked or stewed. The apples are ready for harvest from October and exhibit a striking appearance with green-yellow skin, flushed with red and striped where exposed to the sun. This variety is partially self-fertile, though planting it near another apple tree can enhance pollination and fruit yield. In spring, the tree adds visual charm to the garden with its lovely pink blossoms, bringing seasonal beauty before fruiting.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Apple trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Prune young apple trees for the first few years after planting to create a healthy, goblet-like shape with one central leader and several side shoots. Straight after planting, you can remove the lowest laterals. Prune back other branches by between a third and half their length.

In the following years, remove any shoots growing out of the trunk to maintain a clear stem. Also remove any crossing, diseased or damaged branches. If your tree is looking overcrowded, remove some of the larger branches to open up the canopy. This type of pruning should be carried out between November and March whilst the tree is dormant.
