Initial queries and communication with Caitriona via WhatsApp was swift and professional, answering all questions and providing images/videos on request. They had the stock we needed and were willing to install as soon as they could. Delivered and planted Portuguese Laurel hedging at our home today. Quality of product looks excellent, planting very neat, and our driveway was left as clean as they found it. Niall and his colleague also helped treat existing damaged box plants in our driveway. After they left, they also provided advice/feedback via WhatsApp on caring for all the hedging in coming weeks. Excellent service from start to finish. Would absolutely recommend Cullen Nurseries.

Excellent advice, communication and service, and most importantly, excellent follow-up service. I bought 12 large root ball deciduous trees from Caitriona last year. Some of them unfortunately died and this year she replaced them at a very good discounted price.

Recently purchased some hedging to create a windbreak on a terrace/patio from Cullen Nurseries. I can't recommend them enough. From the advice and guidance that Caitriona provided to the quality of the shrubs, everything was top class. I'll definitely be back for more!

Description

Apple Trees

To ensure good pollination and therefore a good crop of apples, it is essential to grow two or more different cultivars from the same Flowering Group or adjacent Flowering Groups. Some cultivars are triploid – they have sterile pollen and need two other cultivars for good pollination; therefore, always grow at least two other non-triploid cultivars with each one.

The ideal position for apple trees is a sunny well sheltered site away from frost pockets. Avoid poorly drained or shallow soils. There are varieties that will grow in colder or damper areas but mostly, apple trees do well in full sun. Remember to secure your newly planted apple tree with Timber Stake and Tree Tie.

You can watch Rob Plant an Apple Tree with our youngest son, a great way to make memories and encourage kids to grow trees. You can also purchase ornamental apple trees that produce small fruits but are plentiful in flowers. The apples from Crab Apple Trees are not suitable for eating.

  3. Golden Delicious –classic yellow-green apple with a sweet, honeyed flavor and crisp texture. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, and salads due to its juicy flesh. Stores well and develops a richer taste over time.
