All about Claygate Pearmain apple trees
Claygate Pearmain is a popular English apple of the Victorian era, with the classic 'pearmain' shape. It has a soft juicy flesh with some aromatic qualities.
Growing and Training
Claygate Pearmain is well-suited to the climate of the northern states. In fact this is a variety that often does better in the USA than in its native England, where summers are often too short for its liking.
Claygate Pearmain is a reliable variety, not greatly troubled by disease. The tree is of average vigour and crops well.
History
Discovered in the early 19th century by English apple enthusiast John Braddick, growing near the village of Claygate in Surrey, England. Its ancestry is unknown.

More about apple trees
Apple trees are generally easy to grow, and because there are so many apple varieties there is invariably a good choice for almost any growing situation.
Apples display perhaps a greater range of flavours, appearance, and texture than any other tree fruits. This diversity makes apples a particularly satisfying fruit for home cultivation. Without much difficulty (or space) you can grow a number of different apple trees which will keep a family supplied with fresh apples from mid-summer to late autumn, and with a good spread of flavours and uses.
Our apple trees are grafted on rootstocks which will control the mature height of the tree - so you can choose the size of tree that will best suit your garden or orchard project.
