Olive El Greco is grown for its high yields of quality fruit. It carries large fruit that are often squeezed to produce an oil with a distinct, fruity aroma.

apple-liberty-

Apple Liberty (Liberty Apple)

The Liberty Apple tree bears medium sized fruit in autumn that are dark red with flesh that is crisp and firm, sweet, but also slightly tart. These are perfect for eating fresh from the tree. The M9 rootstock keeps this deciduous tree to about 3 m tall and 2.5 m wide, though it can be trimmed as necessary. It is self-pollinating and so does not require another apple variety planted close by to produce fruit. The Liberty Apple tree is commonly planted for fruit production, included in a mixed planting, or maintained in a courtyard garden.

Suited to regions: Alpine, Temperate
Plant type: Fruit Trees
Height: 3.50 m
Spread: 2.50 m
