Predominantly grown as a cooking apple but can also be eaten fresh. Apple ‘Bountiful’ has a sharp, juicy flavour straight from the tree but becomes sweet, and moist with cooking, holding its shape nicely. Cropping well from a young age, the large, green fruits can be harvested from late September, storing until November.

This variety is not self-fertile. For the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator. Pollination Group 2 – Cooking and Eating Apple
