Deep maroon-red skin gives way to crisp, juicy, brilliantly white flesh with a sweet, vinous flavour — a real favourite with children. The tree itself is a delight too, covered in pure white, cup-shaped blossom in mid- to late spring before cropping heavily and reliably. Ready to harvest from early October, and the fruit stores well for several months if kept correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis variety sits in pollination group 3 and, while partially self-fertile, will crop far better with a compatible pollination partner nearby — and it's an excellent pollinator for other varieties in return. Grow in a fertile, well-drained, sunny position, keeping a clear area of at least 60cm around the trunk. Fruit thinning in early summer is worthwhile, as Spartan can be a heavy setter. Good resistance to scab and mildew, though it can be prone to canker in wetter areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGrafted onto MM106 semi-dwarfing rootstock, giving a manageable, productive tree well suited to most gardens — typically reaching around 3-4m in height and spread at maturity, depending on training method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAs with all apple trees, the leaves and seeds carry a mild toxicity risk if ingested by pets or children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHand-selected here at Pengelly for strong form and healthy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41043143590056,"sku":"0","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/products\/spartan.jpg?v=1631627404"},{"product_id":"vitax-fruit-tree-grease-200g","title":"Vitax Fruit Tree Grease 200g","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ready-to-use grease that forms a protective barrier around trunks and stakes, trapping crawling pests like winter moth before they can climb up and damage buds, blossom and fruit.
