Here is a collection of apple varieties often found in supermarkets, which you can try growing at home. It is worth remembering that most supermarket apple varieties are designed for warm dry climates, so growing them in a temperate climate like the UK is more of a challenge. However if you can provide the right conditions, preferably a sunny south-facing sheltered location, you should be successful. All these varieties are late season and benefit from a long ripening period.
Several of these collections are available to buy - see our Orchard Packs.
