Bringing London flair to British gardens, ‘Core Blimey’ is a late, dessert and culinary apple tree that produces aromatic, juicy fruit with a delicate pink blush. This October ready variety was developed for the Urban Garden Project to be Cox-like but easier to grow. Blossoms of white and soft pink blanket the trees in spring. For optimal growth and productivity in loamy, sandy or clay soil, provide some shelter from strong winds.
Pollination Information: This apple belongs to pollination group 3, and is not self fertile, so requires a pollinating partner to produce a crop of apples. ‘Core Blimey’ can be cross-pollinated with other apples in this group (such as ‘Katy’ or ‘Discovery’), or those from pollination groups 2 or 4.
Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. The main prune should be done in the winter as long as it isn’t frosty or freezing. Take out the 3D’s (dead, dying and diseased wood) and create an open shape. Then reduce the leaders back by a third. Aim to create an airy structure without any crisscrossing branches. Summer prune in August by shortening any side shoots (or laterals) which are longer than 20cm back to three leaves. This will allow the sun to ripen the fruit and encourage more fruit buds. Make sure that the growth you’re cutting away feels firm to the touch.
