Laxton’s Fortune

Dessert apple
Raised by Laxton Bros. of Bedford in 1904 and introduced 1931. A cross of Cox’s Orange Pippin x Wealthy. Pale yellow skin mottled and flushed with orange and red. Some russet. Sweet, firm and juicy flesh. Has good resistance to scab and mildew. It is partially self-fertile so will set some fruit by itself. Having another same or different apple variety with the same or adjacent pollination group nearby will improve cropping.
Flowering period C
Pick early Sept and use Sept-Oct

Supplied on half-standard rootstock MM106, suitable to grow free-standing or as espalier or cordon (please add note to order if for formal training)
