Organic Spartan Apple Trees produce round conical shape apples with maroon coloured skin, often grown as a commercial variety but grows very well in the garden.
The skin colour makes these apples quite distinctive and the white flesh has a good flavour with hints of strawberry and melon. The trees can often be heavily fruiting so if thinned early larger apples will be produced.
Supplied on Moderate Vigour (MM106) or Semi Dwarfing (M26) Rootstock, the apples are ready to be harvested from early October and will keep in the correct conditions until January.
