Direct Plants Laxton's Superb Apple Tree 4-5ft Bare Root Fruit Tree by Direct Plants

From Direct Plants, Laxton’s Superb is a bare root Apple Tree chosen for its classic dessert fruit and dependable cropping. Supplied at approximately 4–5ft tall and grown by an award-winning nursery in Norfolk, it brings a heritage feel to gardens, allotments and small orchards, while remaining an approachable choice for first-time planters as well as experienced growers.

Grafted onto MM106 semi-dwarfing rootstock, this variety reaches an eventual height of approximately 10–13ft / 3–4m. Laxton’s Superb produces medium apples with deep red flush over green skin, firm juicy flesh and a sweet, aromatic flavour described as similar to Cox, but easier to grow. For best results, plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil; staking is recommended in exposed areas. Before planting, soak the roots in water for 1–2 hours, set the graft union just above soil level, then backfill, firm gently and water thoroughly. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, with regular watering in the first season and light winter pruning.
