Apple Bolero

Apple Bolero Details

The Bolero Apple tree grows as an upright, narrow column and bears fruit off that column. The fruit are glossy green with a golden blush and has flesh that is nicely textured, crisp and juicy. Their great flavour makes them exceptional for eating fresh. This Ballerina apple tree grows to just 60 cm wide and can be topped at any height up to 3.5 m. It is self-pollinating and so does not require another apple variety planted close by to produce fruit and seldom requires any pruning. Best results with this deciduous tree are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It will tolerate frost and cool climates. The Bolero apple is commonly included in a mixed planting, maintained in a container, or planted in a series alongside a wall. It also suits being grown on a balcony or in a courtyard garden. This is a compact tree with great aesthetics and the added advantage of fruit.
