JUPITER APPLE

Jupiter is a classic good looking apple, yellow skin with orange flush and red streaks. Apple Jupiter is a relatively recent introduction from the 1960’s, bred at the famous East Malling Research Station in Kent. Produces a Cox style flavoured apple, a little more robust and tangy in taste than the typical Cox. Makes an easy strong growing tree, producing heavy yields of firm white fleshed fruit which stores well up into March. A triploid variety which will not pollinate other apple trees.

Our Apple Jupiter bare rooted trees are lifted at the start of the bare root season in November, when the apple trees become dormant, and made available through to March the following year. This period is the ideal time for economical planting. You will however have to wait a year to pick your crop as bare root trees cannot be picked in their first year. For all year round planting why not choose from our selection of container grown apple trees. They do cost more but are older, more established and ready to crop.
