This dramatic red dessert apple is certainly striking, with a vivid reddish-pink flesh that is coloured right through to the centre. Tickled Pink is not only delicious picked straight from the tree, but if sliced would make a stunning addition to a fruit salad, or if picked early is ideal for cooking and making into an attractive pink centred apple tart or pie. This heavy cropping variety produces medium sizedapples that are crisp and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is also worth growing for its ornamental qualities, displaying spectacular, large, reddish-violet blossoms and foliage inthe spring. Compact enough for planting in pots.

Apple trees constitute the perfect first fruit tree as they are extremely easy to grow. Your tree’s growth and output will likely be fine providing you followed our planting and care instructions. Below we address some common queries:

Hardiness: Malus trees can be found growing in far colder regions than the UK and therefore the UK’s mild winters will not affect your tree. One issue that can affect fruit trees is frost-damaged blossom, but this is rarely the case with apples that flower late vis-a-vis other fruit species.
Position: In the UK, the greatest barrier to successful fruiting is a lack of sunlight, so be sure to plant your tree in full sun. Planting your tree in a sheltered spot will help prevent uprooting and allow the tree to put more resources into fruiting.
Soil Types: Soil types are best ignored and remain an unwelcome confusion. Every plant will adapt to its conditions. Having said that, less than ideal conditions will reduce growth. Every plant is suited to a specific pH and apple trees prefer soils with a pH between 6.5-7.5. pHs beyond this range will reduce nutrient uptake. Waterlogged soils will starve your tree of oxygen, which plays a key role in photosynthesis, cause its roots to rot and create the perfect environment for many diseases.
