Cordon Apple trees are a good choice for restricted areas and a fence or wall. They can be grown at a 45degree angle, or upright. The rootstock we use for our cordon is M9 which is the best stock for cordon trees. Plant 60-80cm’s apart.

This classic American apple variety was named and introduced in the 1800’s but did not find it’s way to England for many years after. It does not show it’s finest attributes here but is still worth growing in a warm spot or as a cordon perhaps on a sunny wall.
