Family Apple Tree
- 5 Varieties on 1 Tree 7L Pot If you love apples but only have room for one fruit tree here is the perfect solution for you as this family tree has five different varieties growing on the same plant. It's not a freak of nature but the result of skilful grafting work by expert nurserymen who have grafted four additional varieties onto a Braeburn tree. By careful selection of varieties, you can be sure all five parts of the tree will grow in harmony & the fruits will ripen at their natural time giving a succession of tasty fruits across a much wider 'cropping window' that if just one variety were grown. No need to worry about pollination either as the five varieties on the tree will pollinate each other. Your Family Apple Tree will thrive in a sunny border &, far from being just a curiosity, will mature into a highly productive tree. You can expect the first crop as soon as the year after planting. This is also the perfect fruit tree for a large pot on the patio.
