“Developed from Cox’s Orange Pippin in the 1970’s, this means ‘Fiesta’ has that traditional flavour, both sweet and sharp, it also keeps its shape when cooked and has the orange flush of traditional English apples. ‘Fiesta’ is also one of the best apples for juicing as it gives so much juice from each apple, it also keeps well thanks to its other parent, the American ‘Idared’ apple.” Flowering group 3. Harvest late September-early October. Height 2-3m. Self fertile on M26 rootstock. Growing your own fruit has to be one of the most rewarding things any gardener can do. Not only can you grow varieties that you’d be hard pushed to find in any greengrocer, but you can grow the more expensive fruit, saving money along the way. Included in my fruit range are varieties I’ve grown for years on my allotment and in my garden, all of which are firm favourites of mine, my family and friends. All the varieties grow really well on an allotment and in a garden.

Supplied in a 2.5 litre pot.Citrus trees are surprisingly hardy, tolerating low temperatures and will thrive in most gardens given a warm sunny position. In the UK they are perhaps best grown in a large pot or other suitable containers as this will make it easier for them to be moved as conditions determine. Citrus Trees will not tolerate wetter conditions and waterlogging for any length of time will usually result in the loss of a plant. For this reason, they should be grown in very free-draining soil or compost.Fruiting and PruningCitrus plants are very rewarding to look after, providing endless interest as the small scented white flowers appear in spring, followed by small fruit as the flowers fade. With the correct conditions the fruit will grow steadily over the next six months until they ripen. The fruits can be picked off or left on the tree for ornamental purposes. To encourage a bushy plant and to maintain a good shape, plants can be trimmed just as the new growth starts to sprout in the spring.
