Apple Ellison's Orange produces soft juicy fruits. Unlike its parent, Ellison's Orange has good disease resistance and is partially self-fertile. This reliable variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, and deservedly so. It will grow up to 3m but can be pruned annually to keep at a more manageable height, or for a slightly less vigorous bush can be grown in a large container, perfect for the patio. We supply hardy two-year-old trees grafted onto dwarf root stock called M26.
