Santana is a high quality attractive modern red apple, similar to Elstar, to which it is distantly related. It has a good balanced flavor, with a slightly vinous note. Like many modern apple varieties it incorporates natural resistance to scab.

Santana was developed specifically to have very low levels of the natural compounds that can cause oral allergic reactions to apples in some people.

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.
