Apple Tree 'Sops In Wine'

Apple Tree 'Sops In Wine'

Malus domestica 'Sops In Wine'

This really is a wonderful and most interesting apple - and truly beautiful. New leaf growth is red in colour, its flowers are a most delicate shade of purple red. The fruits produced are (surprise surprise) red in colour - but what really makes this variety stand out is even the flesh is stained pink - and its juice will run pink! Interestingly, if you cut the stems on this tree you will find the inner wood is also red in colour.

Suitable for both cooking (think of the wonderful colours your desserts will come out when made from this) or for juicing or cider.

Season of use August - Ocotber.

First introduced 1832, South West England.

Requires a pollinator (another apple).

Grown on MM106 root stock for an ultimate (un-pruned) height of 12-15 feet but can easily be kept at a height of 6-8 feet.

Supplied as a bare root tree pruned to approximately 4-5 feet tall (including roots).
