The tastiest yellow apple there is!
After years of dedication and experimentation, retired tree grower, Adrie van Liere, developed this exceptional new apple variety. Its golden yellow skin, kissed with a pinkish-orange blush, reveals firm, aromatic flesh. Apple 'Glory of Kapelle' has a unique flavour profile with tart notes followed by a slightly sweet finish. It makes a fine dessert apple for eating fresh and is also good for storing. Originating from Kapelle in the Netherlands, Apple ‘Glory of Kapelle’ pays homage to the region’s rich fruit-growing heritage and celebrates Adrie van Liere’s remarkable legacy of cultivating and improving fruit varieties for over half a century. This one-of-a-kind variety is perfect for apple enthusiasts looking to expand their collection with something truly unique as well as for novice growers seeking an apple that stands out from the rest!

A completely new variety of yellow apple with a unique flavour on a compact, patio tree Plant fruit trees in any well drained soil in a sheltered sunny position. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole and drive the stake into the ground to support the tree. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. Plant fruit trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake using a tree tie, and water well. Alternatively plant dwarf trees in a large tub, minimum 60cm diameter, using John Innes no.3 compost. Pears will produce the best crops when planted near to another pear tree to increase pollination.
