A dual purpose apple, greenish white somewhat acid flesh which sweetens in store or can be dried when it is excellent in tarts flans etc. Makes a small tree and reliable cropper without any fuss.

Our Apple Lemon Pippin 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.
