Apple tree 'Rode Boskoop' in espalier form

Low trunk 120-150 cm high - 7.5 litre pot. The low trunk Red Boskoop apple tree in espalier is a robust tree that produces large, reddish-brown apples with a fresh, tart flavour, perfect for both cooking and baking. The apples have firm flesh and are rich in vitamin C. Red Boskoop grows well in nutritious, well-drained soil and needs a sunny to semi-shaded position. The tree is not self-pollinating and needs another apple tree such as Golden Delicious or Elstar nearby for pollination. Pruning in winter stimulates growth and increases fruit production. Harvesting takes place from October. Red Boskoop is loved for its winter hardiness and versatility.

Fruit trees in espalier form are ideal for smaller gardens. They are well-formed trees that grow against a trellis and also look beautiful. They require less space than regular low-stem fruit trees and are also easier to maintain. They are easier to prune, your fruit ripens better because the sun can reach it better, harvesting is easier and finally the espalier form ensures a higher production per tree.
