Malus ‘Herefordshire Russet’ M27 Step-over

New variety in 2004. A russet with a Cox like flavour. Good disease resistance and a heavy cropper. Pick in October and can store until Christmas. Self fertile. Excellent for the smaller garden. Rootstock M27. Very dwarf. An attractive space-saving way to grow fruit. The stepover is a low-growing, horizontally-trained tree that can literally be ‘stepped over’. Stepovers can be planted along an edge of a path or a bed, and make an excellent divider on an allotment or fruit garden.
