All about Santana apple trees
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.
Growing and Training
Santana is generally easy to grow, and has good resistance to scab and canker.
History
Santana was developed at the University of Wageningen, Netherlands.

More about apple trees
We know our apples! We are affiliated with Orange Pippin, one of the biggest online resources about apple varieties, and we list more than 100 apple tree varieties available for sale in Great Britain. Whether you are an expert fruit gardener, or a first-time grower, or planning a new community or farm orchard project, we have knowledgeable experts who can advise on the best apple variety for your needs.
Our apple trees are grafted on rootstocks which will control the long-term height of the tree - so you can choose the size of tree that will best suit your garden or orchard project, with mature heights from 1.5m to 6m.
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.
