Apple Bountiful

Bred in Kent in the 1960s, culinary apple Malus domestica Bountiful is a small, compact tree with an upright, rounded habit, perfect for the smaller garden. The fruit is large, with pale green skin with a lovely, red-orange flush. The flesh is creamy-white, juicy and sweet, and just keeps its shape when cooked; if you like a tart, juicy apple it can be eaten from store from October onwards. The tree is a spur-bearer, and a heavy cropper. With pretty white, scented blossom over a long period, it needs to be planted near an apple of the same or adjacent pollination group. A healthy tree, particularly resistant to mildew, Apple Bountiful needs little pruning, and starts cropping early in life.
