‘Fiesta Red Pippin’ Apple Tree (12 Litre Pot)

‘Fiesta Red Pippin’ Apple Tree produces a fruit that has an aromatic, nutty flavour that is most suited to eating and juicing. The apple has a yellowy-green appearance, that is flushed bright red and grows on pendulous branches. A comparatively modern eating apple, Fiesta Red Pippin has a reliable yield and is easy to look after.

This apple tree is available in a 12 litre pot, on two different rootstocks to suit a range of garden sizes. The rootstock controls the rate of growth so you can choose a rootstock suitable to where you would like to plant your tree. The rootstock also ensures the tree fruits earlier than when grown on its own roots.

M26 is a semi-dwarf variety that is suitable for smaller gardens, where space is at a premium. This rootstock grows to a mature height of 2.5m (8ft) after 10 years.

MM106 is a semi-vigorous variety that is commonly one of the largest rootstocks available. It is best suited to large gardens where space is not an issue. This rootstock grows to a mature height of 3.5m (11ft) after 10 years.
