Brownlees Russet Miniature M27 Apple trees
This tree is grown on miniature M27 stock. M27 is a rootstock that produces the smallest tree of all; maturing to around 180cm’s in height and width, this tree is ideal for a container or small garden, courtyard or allotment. It should be staked if in a windy or open position. Crops can exceed 20ibs per tree when established and this rootstock is quite precocious, often yielding the year following planting.
Not one of the most well known of Russet apples, this 1848 introduction remains for the connoisseur but has superb eating qualities that might endear it to the more adventurous planter.
