Thompson & Morgan Thompson & Morgan Apple (Malus) Elstar 2 Litre Potted Plant x 2

The Apple ‘Elstar’ is an award-winning dessert apple variety, celebrated for its sweet, crunchy texture and complex flavour notes. This premium variety is the result of crossing ‘Ingrid Marie’ and ‘Golden Delicious’, offering the honeyed sweetness of Golden Delicious with the tangy, nuanced taste of Ingrid Marie. Its striking marbled red skin over a yellow background makes it as attractive as it is delicious, perfect for fresh eating or homemade desserts.  Ideal for gardens and large containers alike, ‘Elstar’ produces heavy crops and performs best in sunny, sheltered locations. While self-pollinating, cross-pollination with compatible varieties such as Cox’s Orange, Golden Delicious, or Santana improves yields. With simple care including pruning, mulching, and occasional feeding, this tree delivers consistent, high-quality fruit year after year.  How to GrowLight: Full sun for optimal fruit development. Temperature: Sheltered from strong winds; frost-tolerant once established. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Feeding: Apply well-rotted manure or compost at planting; feed annually in spring.
