Laxton's Superb Apple is an old-fashioned, traditional, sweet, aromatic dessert apple. It was bred by Laxton Brothers in Bedford, UK in 1897. This apple plant is great for cold or exposed locations. It is fast-growing, but has a tendency to biennial bearing. It brings better crop when planted with another variety. It prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Doesn’t like very acidic soils, shallow chalk soils, and shade more than half of the day. Its flowers are pretty and fragrant, white with some pink, self-pollinating and long-lasting.

The fruit is green-yellow with orange-red blush and crisp firm flesh. It is similar to Cox’s Orange Pippin, which is one of its parents, but it is a bit superior with larger fruits, slightly richer flavour and better keeping qualities. Ready for harvesting in October, it can be stored till January. Late-season and heavy cropping.

Root stock MM106 is a semi-dwarfing rootstock commonly used for apple trees. It offers a moderate growth rate, producing trees 10-15 feet tall when mature. Suitable for medium-sized gardens, MM106 ensures good fruit yield and adaptability to various soils. It's resistant to woolly apple aphid and moderately resistant to crown rot. Ideal for bush, cordons, and espalier forms. Ensure proper staking in early years.

Sunset apple is a heavy-cropping garden apple with upright, compact habit and attractive pale pink flowers that bloom in March. They are followed by small, round to ovate, golden-yellow and green fruit with red and orange striping. A white to ivory flesh is crisp, firm and fine-grained, sometimes tinged with green. It has sweet, sharp, aromatic flavour. Sunset Apple was bred in approximately 1918 by G. C. Addy at Ightham, Kent. One of the parent varieties is Cox’s Orange Pippin Apple. Sunset Apple was meant to be similar to it, but easier to grow. It is very resilient, generally disease-free, cold and frost resistant, therefore, suitable for growing even in northern parts of Europe. Doesn’t need a pollinating partner because it is self-fertile. It is not commercially grown because of its small size. Sunset apples are crispy and juicy, great for eating or cooking. When cooked, they retain their shape.

The Apple Spartan tree grafted onto MM106 rootstock represents a harmonious marriage of a celebrated apple variety with a well-established root system.

The Spartan apple is an offspring of the McIntosh, distinguished by its alluring deep red skin that can almost appear purple under certain light. Originating from Canada in the early 20th century, Spartan apples are known for their crisp texture and a perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor. When bitten into, they offer a delightful, aromatic experience, reminiscent of old-fashioned apple types, making them a favorite for fresh consumption and culinary uses alike.

The MM106 rootstock, on the other hand, is a semi-dwarfing variety, offering a medium-sized tree when fully grown. This rootstock ensures the tree remains manageable in size, typically reaching heights of about 10-15 feet. MM106 is particularly noted for its adaptability to various soil types, robust disease resistance, especially against woolly apple aphid, and its ability to establish quickly in a new environment.

When the Spartan is paired with the MM106, the resultant tree benefits from a combination of hardiness, moderate size, and the production of delectably juicy apples. This duo is especially suitable for backyard orchardists, hobby growers, and even commercial orchard settings where space optimization is essential.
