Apple 'Discovery' is a well known dessert variety with a fine, sweet flavour that brings to mind a hint of strawberries. Although often found in supermarkets, it has a short storage potential of just a couple of weeks, so it is best eaten when picked fresh from the tree.
'Discovery' produces very heavy crops of its perfectly round, red-flushed fruit late in the season each year, and they really are some of the scrummiest you will eat! The flavour is not only refreshingly juicy, but also nicely acidic with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the creamy-white flesh is satisfyingly crunchy. They are simply divine when eaten straight from the tree, but they can also be stored easily, and are fantastic when pressed to make zingy home-made apple juice. This relatively new, all-round winner is the perfect apple for gardeners of all abilities; it is absolutely effortless to grow, and even the most inexperienced gardener can expect to get large quantities of top-quality, incredibly tasty fruit from their tree. Our trees are supplied on dwarfing rootstock, so they will remain compact, and you can even grow them in pots on your patio! Supplied as an established plant, 90-110cm tall in a 5L pot, it's perfect to plant into your garden now.
Spectacular 6-7cm (2½-3in) bright yellow, double blooms on dwarf sturdy plants makes it a considerable improvement on its nearest rival. It is quite as dwarf as many French marigolds and very neat and tidy whilst retaining its huge and fully double blooms, extraordinary reliability and almost legendary heat and poor weather tolerance. Flowers mid to late summer. Height 20-25cm (8-10in).
