Tom Putt Apples, Jeffreys Seedling

Browse all our apple trees here or read our guide to buying the right apple tree.

Tom Putt Apple Trees - also sometimes called Jeffreys Seedling produce large, rather flattened red, shiny apples with the odd green patch. These are handy apples to have around. Not only are Tom Putt apples superb cookers, with a light flavour and melting-sweet texture, they are also an ideal choice for the sharp element in a blended cider. Finally, they are also easy to juice, making tangy rich flavoured juice. A Tom Putt tree is a real trooper; it is vigorous, begins cropping young and bears large, steady harvests year in, year out on branches that have a spreading habit. Their crowning glory in our book, however, is that they are very resistant to scab, which is probably the biggest problem for people growing apples and pears in warmer, damper areas of Britain. They are named after the Reverend Tom Putt, who was the Rector of Trent about 200 years ago. In a warm year, you might get some fruit at the end of August. They store well and should see you through till Christmas.
