Malus ‘Egremont Russet’
Step into a world where tradition meets timeless beauty with the Malus ‘Egremont Russet’, a beloved heritage apple tree that brings the gentle nostalgia of old English orchards to your Irish garden. With its gnarled branches and honeyed fruit, this tree is more than a source of delicious apples—it’s a living memory, ready to root itself in your family’s story.
Golden-green fruit, cloaked in a russeted skin, dangle like treasures among the lush foliage. Each apple offers a crisp bite and a nutty, aromatic flavour—perfect for eating fresh, slicing into salads, or pairing with a wedge of cheese on a sunny afternoon.
Visual Impact: The Egremont Russet delights through every season, with delicate white blossom in spring, deep green leaves in summer, and a harvest of golden fruit as autumn arrives. Its compact habit makes it ideal for modest gardens, courtyards, or as a centrepiece in a mixed orchard.
Caragh Garden Notebook:
Planting: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Space generously to allow sunlight to dance through the branches and encourage a bountiful crop.
Care: Water young trees well as they settle in, mulch in spring, and prune lightly to maintain shape and vigour.
Harvest: Pick fruit in September–October, when the russet skin is at its richest.

Expert Tip: Egremont Russet is partially self-fertile but will crop even better with a pollination partner nearby—think ‘Discovery’ or ‘James Grieve’ for a perfect pairing.
A tree for the connoisseur and the sentimentalist alike, Malus ‘Egremont Russet’ invites you to savour the slow joys of the orchard, right at home.
