These \u2018old\u2019 apple trees instantly add character, structure and fruit to the garden; mature specimens in spacious pots, ready for planting.<\/p>\n
The Malus domestica \u2018Sweet Emgaard\u2019<\/strong> is a traditional Dutch apple variety that is prized for its smooth, sweet taste<\/strong> and a pleasant aroma. The apples are ideal for eating fresh, but are also suitable for light dishes such as compotes and desserts. This old apple tree is a mature specimen measuring approximately 2 metres high<\/strong>, grown in a 45 litre pot<\/strong> at rootstock M9<\/strong>. This rootstock provides a more compact growth<\/strong>, makes the tree easy to manage and at the same time ensures a rapid fruit production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In spring, the Sweet Emgaard blooms with soft pink to white blossoms that attract many bees. The harvest follows in the late summer to early autumn<\/strong>, with the tree producing lovely pale yellow to soft pink apples with a distinctly sweet flavour. The variety is self-pollinating<\/strong>, but gives higher yields when combined with varieties such as \u2018Elstar\u2019, \u2018Notarisappel\u2019 or \u2018Groninger Kroon\u2019.<\/p>\n The tree is hardy<\/strong> and grows best in a sunny, fertile and well-drained soil<\/strong>. Thanks to the compact growth habit of the M9 rootstock, this variety is particularly well suited to smaller gardens, as a substitute for standard trees, or for fruit lovers who like to keep their trees neat and tidy.<\/p>\n For safe transport, these heavy trees are shipped on a pallet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n Large, mature apple tree (approx. 2 m high)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n M9 rootstock: compact growth, easy to manage and quick to bear fruit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sweet, aromatic apples<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Beautiful spring flowers and bee-friendly<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hardy and easy-care<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pallet shipment for optimal protection<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Why choose this old fruit tree?<\/strong> Bloom & Fruits:<\/strong> Pitch & care:<\/strong> Specifications at a glance<\/strong> Our Sweet Emgaard apple trees on M9 rootstock combine a sweet flavour, compact growth and early fruiting \u2013 a valuable addition to any garden.
