Apple 'Devonshire Quarrendon'

Malus domestica 'Devonshire Quarrendon' is a historic English apple cultivar, highly valued for its early-season, sweet, and aromatic red-striped fruits. This dessert apple forms a medium-sized tree with an ultimate height and spread of 3-4m, making it suitable for a variety of garden sizes, including espalier or cordon training. It thrives in a sheltered, sunny position with well-drained, fertile soil. The tree produces a good display of white to pink-tinged blossoms in mid-spring, which are attractive to pollinators. 'Devonshire Quarrendon' is a reliable cropper and is generally hardy throughout most of the UK (H6). Its fruits are typically ready for harvest in late August, offering a delightful crisp texture and distinct flavour.
