Description

Pixie is a small apple but has big flavour and both tastes and looks similar to Cox, a possible parent. Refreshing and sharp flavour but not acidic, with a crisp, juicy texture. Because of its size it is not grown commercially, which is a shame because the flavour is excellent.

However it is a good performer on smaller roots stocks like the ones we grow on, making it ideal for smaller spaces and perfect for gardens.

It’s easy to crops and grows well with little effort, having resistance to scab and mildew. Pixie is a late season variety and can be harvested mid-October and can be eaten straight from the tree or stored. If you like Cox you will enjoy Pixie.

Rootstock: M26

Flowering Group: FG4

Years until fruiting from planting: 2

Height at full growth: 3m/10ft

In order to ensure a good pollination pick fruit trees from within the same or from adjacent flowering groups.

We may prune your tree before it arrives to your door. We do this to encourage your tree to branch freely which makes them better looking and more productive.

During summer delivery, our plants may exhibit signs of nature's hustle and bustle on their leaves. Since we have a high concentration of plants on the nursery, a variety of insects are drawn to them as a source of food and nutrition. We feel that this is all part of gardening and have to strike a balance between keeping the plants healthy for our customers and not interfering too much with natural lifecycles.

We try to use as many natural methods of control as possible and only intervene as a last resort. So you may see some leaves that are discoloured or with small areas where the insects have been eating them. Any high levels of damage or attack will have been dealt with prior to delivery and plants graded out as best as possible when selected for packing. No plants will be delivered with damage that will affect the future growth or success of harvest.

Please note – due to increased courier costs beyond our control, delivery charges to all non-UK Mainland addresses including Scottish Highlands & Islands may be subject to a postage surcharge.

Please call our Customer Service Team on 0344 573 8400 for further information.
