Apple Elstar 5 Litre Pot Patio Fruit

The Apple Elstar Patio Fruit Tree is a compact, dwarf version of the popular Elstar apple, known for its sweet, tangy flavor and crisp texture. Perfect for growing in small gardens, patios, or containers, this tree brings the delicious Elstar apples to even the smallest of spaces, making it a popular choice for UK gardeners.

Key Characteristics:

• Size: This patio-sized is ideal for container growing, balconies, or small gardens. Its manageable height makes it easy to care for, prune, and harvest.
• Fruit: Elstar apples are medium-sized with yellow skin flushed with red, and the flesh is firm, juicy, and crisp. The flavor is a harmonious balance of sweetness with a touch of tartness, making it perfect for fresh eating, cooking, or juicing.
• Harvest Time: The apples ripen in September to October, and they store well, keeping their flavor and texture for several weeks in cool conditions.
• Self-Sterility: Elstar is not self-fertile, so it needs a pollinating partner to ensure good fruit production. Ideal pollinators include Golden Delicious, James Grieve, or Discovery.

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil, but adapts well to various soil types. Ensuring good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging.
• Light: Thrives in full sun, which helps the apples develop their rich flavor and ensures good ripening.
• Watering: Requires regular watering, especially when grown in containers, as potted plants tend to dry out faster than those planted in the ground.
