Contents of this product<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 1 x Malus domestica \u2018Cevaal\u2019 \u2013 apple tree The tree is supplied in a nursery pot and is a young fruit tree that will continue to grow after planting. The height on delivery is approximate and may vary slightly depending on the season and stage of growth.<\/p>\n About Malus domestica \u2018Cevaal\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u2018Cevaal\u2019 grows into a medium-sized apple tree, eventually reaching a height of around 3 to 3.5 metres. The tree has an upright growth habit with a slightly spreading crown and forms a well-balanced structure.<\/p>\n In spring, the tree blooms with white flowers with a hint of pink. The apples ripen in early autumn, usually around late September to early October. The fruit is medium-sized and has firm, juicy flesh with a pleasant sweet-and-sour flavour and a subtly aromatic character.<\/p>\n This variety is not self-pollinating and requires other apple varieties nearby to set fruit successfully.<\/p>\n Care<\/strong><\/p>\n Apple trees grow best in a sunny spot. Plenty of sunlight ensures good flowering and fruit development. A sheltered spot helps to improve the yield.<\/p>\n The tree grows best in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Compost or organic fertiliser can be added when planting. Annual fertilisation in the spring promotes growth and fruit set.<\/p>\n In the early years, it is advisable to support the tree with a stake.<\/p>\n Prune<\/strong><\/p>\n Pruning is best carried out in winter or early spring. This involves removing weak, crossing and inward-growing branches to maintain an open crown.<\/p>\n An open canopy structure allows more light to reach the fruit and helps to ensure healthy fruit.<\/p>\n Winter care<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u2018Cevaal\u2019 is highly hardy and well suited to the Dutch climate. In winter, the tree loses its leaves and goes into dormancy. Extra protection is not usually necessary.<\/p>\n \u2018Cevaal\u2019 apples are ideal for eating fresh as a snack, but are also perfect for use in apple sauce, compote, baked goods or juice. The combination of sweetness and a hint of tartness makes this apple very versatile.<\/p>\n The \u2018Cevaal\u2019 is an interesting choice for anyone who wants to plant less common varieties in their garden alongside the more familiar ones. Plant this tree alongside other apple varieties to ensure better pollination and a varied harvest. Planting it alongside soft fruit will also result in a garden with a longer harvesting season.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2022 Malus domestica \u2018Cevaal\u2019
