Malus domestica Tremletts Bitter

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

A mostly red, often blotchy apple, Tremletts Bitter is a real cider apple - one bite from a fresh one and you won't be wanting another in a hurry! The fruit are medium sized and have a hard, bittersweet flavour, high in tannin. When blended with a sweet and a sharp cider apple, they help create a rich, refreshing overall flavour and are a popular ingredient in commercial ciders. You can use Tremletts Bitter for a single variety cider if you really like the dry stuff. The fruit have a handy habit of falling from the tree when ripe, so all you have to do is place a net underneath if you want to catch the early ones and give the tree a shake when you think that they are all ready. Tremlett's Bitter trees' growth is fairly good and they are noted for coming into fruit well in their third or fourth year. It is up to you to decide whether to keep these first fruit or pinch the buds off to encourage the tree to grow more for subsequent years. Tremletts Bitter does crop well, though it has a biennial habit - one year will be good, the other not so good. The fruit will be ripe in early to mid October.

Pollination Partners for Tremletts Bitter

Planting Golden Hornet or John Downie crab apple trees is the fool-proof way of pollinating a mixed orchard. If you would rather use another normal apple tree, then select any of the fertile or pollinating Trees- in Groups A-C in the Apple Tree Pollination list.

Tremletts Bitter Rootstocks

The MM106 rootstocks that we use for our apple Trees- will produce a medium sized tree of 4-5 metres if left to grow naturally and are also suitable for training your tree into a bush, cordon or espalier. For 2009, only maiden Tremletts Bitter Trees- are available, we expect to have other sizes in stock next year.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
