{"title":"Apple Pollination Group B: Early-Mid Season Flowering Varieties","description":"\u003cp\u003eSitting neatly in the middle of the flowering calendar, Group B varieties tend to blossom from mid to late April — just after the early risers of Group A, just before the mid-season Group C crowd. That middle position is actually rather handy: Group B trees overlap with both their neighbouring groups, so if you're piecing together an orchard (or you've inherited a garden with no idea what's already growing in it), a Group B variety gives you the best odds of finding a willing pollination partner.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"early-victoria-apple-trees","title":"Early Victoria Apple Trees","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEarly Victoria Apple Trees\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e Early Victoria apple tree\u003c\/strong\u003e (also known as \u003cstrong\u003eEmneth Early\u003c\/strong\u003e) produces an early season cooking apple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/blogs\/fruit\/best-apple-tree-varieties-choose-guide-uk\"\u003eguide to buying the right apple tree\u003c\/a\u003e, browse our range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/apple-fruit-trees\"\u003eapple trees\u003c\/a\u003e or see the full variety of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ashridgetrees.co.uk\/collections\/fruit-trees\"\u003efruit trees\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Cooking.

Other virtues include a very large, striking green apple with bright white flesh, a good sharp flavour and reasonable resistance to all the sins of apple trees like canker, scab and mildew. As befits a clergy man, the blossom is whiter than white, early and all-encompassing. Indeed, this tree is often grown purely for this attribute making it a member of a broad church, equally at home in both garden and orchard. The apples when cooked repent into a pool of excellent purée.
