Apple Flower of Kent

Apple Flower of Kent Details

The Flower of Kent apple tree bears mid-size fruit that are red with a green background and have flesh that is both crisp and sweet. They are great for eating fresh as well as for cooking. This deciduous tree typically grows to 3.5 m tall and 2.7 m wide though the ultimate size will depend on the rootstock it is grown on. It is self-pollinating but will produce heavier yields if a variety such as Splendour or Fuji is planted nearby. Best results are achieved with this tree when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. The Flower of Kent apple tree is commonly planted for fruit production, grown as a specimen, or added to a mixed planting.
