• Hardy and easy to manage variety with good natural resistance to disease, making it an excellent choice for beginner gardeners.
• Thrives in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil; requires regular watering during spring and summer to assist fruit development.
• Ideal for patio cultivation; select a container with a minimum capacity of 30 litres (approx. 45-50cm diameter) and use a loam-based compost like John Innes No. 3, ensuring the pot has adequate drainage holes.
• To plant, soak roots for 2 hours prior, dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the root system, and backfill ensuring the graft union sits just above the soil line.
• Supplied as a 3ft bare root tree, likely on a dwarfing rootstock intended to be maintained as a compact bush or patio specimen.
