Wern (Pembrokeshire)

£22.99

History & Discovery

The Wern Apple originates from Pembrokeshire in the 19th Century. It is an excellent reliable apple for Welsh gardens.

Fruit

The fruit is medium sized with a rich flavour. In October when cooked it keeps its shape (ideal for tarts). In the New Year it sweetens to a tangy eating apple.

Rootstock & Eventual Tree Size

All fruit trees are grafted onto rootstocks. The rootstocks determine eventual tree size.
Bigger trees are more robust & produce more fruit, but take up more space.
Always choose a bigger rootstock if you need extra anchorage or your soil is poor (very wet, dry or rocky). Small trees cannot compete with grass and weeds.

If you want your fruit tree to remain smaller than its eventual tree size, simply prune back in the summer.
