Apple tree 'Lord Lambourne' | Malus domestica - MM106 - Semi-Dwarfing - 150-160cm - 10lt

"Lord Lambourne" is a classic English dessert apple that was first introduced in the early 20th century. A product of Bedfordshire, it quickly gained recognition for its outstanding flavor profile: a delightful blend of sweetness offset by refreshing tartness. This variety is well-regarded for its juiciness and crisp flesh, making it a favorite for fresh consumption.

The apple itself bears a beautiful appearance with a vibrant red flush over a yellow-green background. The skin is smooth and glossy, while its aromatic scent is indicative of the flavorful punch it delivers upon the first bite.

When "Lord Lambourne" is grafted onto the MM106 rootstock, the resultant tree benefits from the moderate vigor and size endowed by the rootstock. MM106 is a semi-dwarfing stock, ensuring the tree remains at a manageable size, making it an excellent choice for medium-sized gardens or orchards where space may be a limitation.

Furthermore, MM106 provides a good balance between early fruit production and tree strength. The rootstock also boasts resistance against pests like the woolly apple aphid and has some degree of tolerance against diseases such as apple scab. This combination of a flavorful apple variety on a resilient rootstock ensures both delightful fruit and ease of cultivation for the grower.
