Ballerina apple trees

Cazzdevil

Does anyone have one? I'm limited for available planting space in my garden (don't want to lose too much grass) and considered putting a ballerina in a big tub.

I just wondered if anyone had one and if they're really as good and bountiful as my book claims they are.

Lol, I'll take that as a no then

Incase anyone was wondering, it's a kind of space-saving apple tree where the fruits grow directly from the main stem rather than off branches. Check this link out for an example:

Hi I had one for many years, left it at my last place when I moved for the new owner.
I had plenty of apples from it, just like the photos they use to advertise.

Keep it well watered and feed every 2 weeks. You will have no problems just lots of tasty apples.

I might get another one thinking on it!

Hello! I'm a newbie moneysaver & gardener. I'm just working on getting my garden going and am looking for some apple trees - these look ideal! Do they need another tree to cross pollonate (sp?) and do you know what varieties it'll cross pollonate with? Forgive me if I'm talking cobblers, I'm very new to this green-fingered stuff!!:rolleyes:
