Malus domestica - Old apple tree ‘Elstar’ - Rootstock M111 - 45L pot - approx. 1.8m

These ‘old’ apple trees deliver instant character, fruit and atmosphere to your garden; mature specimens in spacious pots, ready for planting. Available in several varieties with proven flavour and growing characteristics:

The Malus domestica 'Elstar' is a classic Dutch apple variety, loved for its fresh, sweet-sour flavour and juicy flesh. This old apple tree is a beautiful, mature tree of about 1.8-2 metres high, grown in a large 45-litre pot. The tree already has a nice crown structure and can give plenty of fruit within a short time.

The Elstar blooms in spring with soft pink to white blossoms that attract many bees. A rich harvest of yellow-red apples, perfect for both direct consumption and making apple sauce or pies. This apple tree is self-pollinating, but gives higher yields when combined with other apple varieties such as ‘Cox Orange’ or ‘Jonagold’.

The tree is hardy, resists the Dutch climate well and prefers to grow in a sunny spot in nutritious, well-drained soil. Thanks to its mature age, this is an excellent choice for those who want to immediately place a mature fruit tree in the garden with character and appearance.

To prevent damage during transport, these heavy, mature trees are shipped safely on a pallet.
