Apple Tree - Sunset Bush (M26)
Availability: Out of stock
Bring warmth and flavour to your garden with our Sunset Apple Tree, a delightful, compact variety admired for its glowing fruit and excellent taste. In spring, it bursts into life with clouds of pale pink blossom, adding charm and attracting bees in abundance. By mid-autumn, this bushy tree rewards you with medium-sized apples, flushed red and orange over golden-yellow skin, akin to a sunset in fruit form. The creamy flesh is crisp, aromatic, and perfectly balanced between sweet and sharp, ideal for snacking, baking, or juicing.
'Sunset' thrives in full sun and loves well-drained, fertile soil. Minimal care is needed; only prune lightly in winter, feed in early spring, and then mulch yearly to retain moisture and battle off weeds. A reliable performer in small gardens, cottage-style borders, or patio containers, it's also one of the best choices for cooler regions and more exposed sites due to its full hardiness and disease resistance.
Supplied in approx. 12 litre containers grafted on a M26 rootstock, which produces a tree of moderate vigour suitable for most situations where fruit is of a nice pickable height. Trees are easily maintained at a manageable size and never reach more than around 3m tall.Â
