Pitmaston Pine Apple

Sale price£24.00

A late eating apple that tastes of honey and pineapple.

Small conical fruit yellow/green with some russet. Crisp and juicy.

Very pretty blossom. Fully ripe early November and keeps into the new year. Strong, hardy, reliable cropper that bears well.

According to Hogg in 1884, 'a dessert apple of great excellence'. Raised by Mr Williams of Pitmaston, Worcs, around 1825, although possibly originally raised by a steward to Lord Foley of Stoke Edith, Herefordshire in 1785. Thought to have come from the seed of a Golden Pippin.

Permission to use photograph by Philip James (Dinefwr Heritage Orchard) is gratefully acknowledged.

What will my trees be like when they arrive?

Our trees are supplied as bare root trees in the dormant season (usually December - March).

  • 1 year old "maiden" trees will usually arrive as a single, flexible stem (or some varieties will also have some side-shoots). Our 1 year-old trees are at least 90cm tall and can be up to 150cm (3ft - 5ft).
  • Our older trees are 2 or 3 years old, usually have some branching and may have some fruit buds. They are between generally 110cm and 150cm (4ft - 5ft).

Trees that have grown over 150cm will be pruned to a bud at the top to fit into the packaging.
