Tickled Pink® Apple Trees

Tickled Pink® Apple Trees: Eating & Cooking

Fantastic dual-purpose apple with gorgeous deep red skins and unusual rosy red flesh: so ornamental and edible, you will want to have your apple and eat it too!
They are delicious eaten straight from the tree and are great all-rounders in the kitchen, keeping their lovely tart flavour and holding their shape when cooked. Their pink flesh looks stunning in pies and crumbles, and produces abundant pink juice.

The tree has exquisite carmine-pink blossom in spring, followed by the beautiful ruby red fruits in autumn, and the new leaves are purple red, giving you a dash of autumnal colour at the start of the growing season: perfect for planting where it can be admired.

Growing Tickled Pink Apples

Apples like a rich, well drained soil, and will thrive on clay in locations that do not get waterlogged in winter.
A full day of sun and shelter from the wind is ideal.

Rootstocks:
We use MM106 for Tickled Pink, the UK standard for medium-sized trees, ideal for gardeners. It gives a half-standard about 4m tall, and a bush about 3m.
MM106 maidens are suitable for cordons and espaliers, but most of our ready-made cordons are on the less vigorous M9.

Disease notes:
Overall disease resistant, good resistance to scab.
