About this deal

However, ballerina varieties also have some weaknesses, particularly their susceptibility to disease and less intense fruit flavor.

It is far easier for most gardeners to purchase cordon fruit trees which have already been trained and pruned into columnar form. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.These column trees need no support unless they are in a windy area and then only a skinny post is required or even a thick bamboo cane. I was thinking of planting some columnar varieties in my garden also because of the smaller space requirements. We can confidently say this is the ‘new garden Cox’ but unlike this classic vintage variety, Christmas Pippin is very easy to grow and produces reliable, heavy crops countrywide. Apple, pears, plums and cherries for example, it does not matter how you plan the planting, full pollination will be achieved as long as the trees are in the same vicinity.

The eating quality is exceptional, characterised by a sweet and aromatic flavour, lovely perfume and a very pleasant honey after-taste. They’re the second set I’ve planted—we left the others at our last home—and at three years old, they’re just in their infancy. Pre-trained trees should have already been pruned in this way (but do check), so no initial pruning should be required. Cordon Apple 'Belle de Boskoop' This dual-purpose dessert/culinary apple was introduced in the Netherlands in the 1850s and is very popular on the continent. While columnar fruit trees do not deliver quite as much fruit as a large tree due to the limited space for the plants, they do grow enough fruit to eat so that almost every day a self-harvested portion of fruit makes it to the table.

Since a number can be grown in close proximity to one another, you can increase the overall yield of fruit from your garden. If fruits are produced the first summer after planting there is no need to remove them as you would with an ordinary tree.

The distinctive 'pearmain' shaped fruits are crisp with a rich, aromatic, nutty flavour typical of many russets. The ultimate Valentine's Day countdown - here are 10 romantic gestures to help sweep your partner off their feet! One of the advantages of columnar fruit trees is that they can be grown in a variety of containers, but this form of cultivation introduces the need for additional care. They can also be used to provide some privacy or screening without casting excessive amounts of shade across the space.
