Malus domestica ‘Red Falstaff’ is a late-season, heavy-cropping dessert apple with lovely, pinkish white flowers blooming in April and May, and abundance of delicious, very balanced, crisp and juicy, orange-red apples, ready for harvesting in October. Apples can be stored throughout the winter. Malus domestica ‘Red Falstaff’ likes deep, fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Very acidic and chalk soils should be avoided. It thrives in full sun. It is very resistant to frost and tolerant of wind, but needs to be sheltered form harsh winter winds. Suitable for colder climates. It is self-fertile and an excellent pollinator for other varieties. It has a good disease resistance. Some pruning and fruit thinning may be required. Apple 'Red Falstaff' is an excellent dessert apple, a reliable and heavy cropper, perfect for informal, cottage, and urban gardens. Suitable for growing in containers. Very tasty when eaten fresh, but also great when used for culinary purposes.

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.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
