Propagated from a single parent apple tree which was discovered in 1998 on the remote Bardsey Island, just off the coast of North Wales. This very old fruit tree was found to be a completely unique new variety. Apple 'Bardsey Island' is a particularly disease resistant variety, showing no signs of scab or canker. Good crops of large apples with attractive, pink-striped skins can be harvested from September. The fruits are crisp and sweet with a distinct lemon fragrance. An excellent dessert apple eaten straight from the tree or made into juice. When cooked, it forms a sweet puree that needs no sugar added. Apple rootstocks:M27 - Extreme dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 1.5m (5')M9/ Pajam 9/ P9 - Dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 2.5m (8')M26 - Dwarf reaching a mature height of 2.5-3m (8-10')M6 - Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 3m (10')MM106 - Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 4m (13')This variety is not self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator.
