Orange Pippin

An excellent source of information about heritage apple varieties.  Variety descriptions include approximate mature size on different rootstocks. The final sizes may not be directly applicable in Australia, however the data will prove useful in selecting the best rootstock for your requirements. Visit Orange Pippin’s UK fruit tree shop.
