Product description
Malus domestica 'Red Devil' is a bold, bright red apple that gets its name from the Red Devil parachute display team and originates from Kent in 1975. The scarlet colour makes a wonderful display in any garden and the white blossoms in spring also add an attractive feature to a garden.
Red Devil is known for its delicious fruity strawberry flavour and when you bite into it, you will notice that the juicy flesh is stained with the red colour from the skin. This apple is ideal for juicing with its sweet flavour and can also be eaten straight off the tree.
If you have a smaller garden, Red Devil is ideal as it is self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner. You can plant only one tree and expect to get a great crop of ripe red apples in the month of October. It enjoys full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Because it is resistant to disease, it requires little care and attention. The Red Devil can be used to pollinate other trees in the same flowering group, such as the Crispin.
We offer Malus domestica 'Red Devil' as a rootstock M26, dwarfing, which is tolerant of a range of soils.
MM106 (Semi Dwarfing) are suitable for all forms except standards. The apple trees are tolerant to various soils like grass orchards and poor soils. Widely used rootstock, but not for small gardens. This tree will begin fruiting after three or four years with a ultimate height of between 3-4m.
M26 (Dwarfing) are good for spindlebush, espalier and ideal for containers. Typically starts fruiting after two or three years with an ultimate height of between 2.4-3m.

Top Tip
To plant an apple tree, select a sunny spot with well-draining soil, ideally with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly shallower than its depth. Position the tree with its graft union above soil level, backfill gently with soil, and firm it lightly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and prevent weeds, leaving a gap around the trunk to avoid rot. Stake the tree if necessary to protect it from strong winds.
