Description of plant at maturity:
Apples should be planted in well drained soils in a sunny position. At harvest, colour develops best with warm days and cooler nights.

''Wrapped'' trees are bare-root, meaning they have been removed from the soil during winter-dormancy. There are several benefits to opting for bare-root trees, including:
- They establish larger root systems quicker than potted specimens
- They have improved resistance to heat/drought stress
- They take full advantage of spring (and improved vigor long-term)
- They are typically more affordable than potted specimens of the same age

To plant, dig a hole that is twice as wide as it is deep. Make a small mound of soil in the centre of the hole and gently position the roots of the tree evenly as you plant the tree on the mound. Backfill the hole, taking care not to bury the tree too high above the roots (do not cover the graft-union). Water in well. Prune the tree by 30-50%

Fruit: Large, slightly asymmetrical with prominent red blush.
Skin: Red blush over green-yellow background.

Comments: A dwarfing variety suited to pots and smaller gardens. Scientific research shows that this apple has some of the highest flavonoid and antioxidant levels of any apple in the world, and these naturally occurring compounds are beneficial to the human body in assisting the immune system to fight infection and disease. It also contains high micro-nutrient levels, so an apple a day may really keep the doctor away!
