Its large, flattened fruits are golden-yellow striped with orange-red and lightly russeted, with creamy flesh and a rich, distinctively nutty flavour. A superb dual-purpose apple, it can be used for cooking from early October, when it softens to a thick purée perfect for pies and Apple Charlotte, or left to sweeten in store for eating through to January, where it makes a fine partner for cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrown as a bush on semi-vigorous MM106 rootstock, it makes a strong-growing garden tree of around 4m. Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-drained soil and stake firmly for the first few years. It can take a few years to reach full cropping and may fruit more heavily in alternate years, so thinning young fruits helps keep yields steady. Blenheim Orange is a triploid and self-sterile, so it needs two different pollination partners from groups B, C or D nearby, which must also be able to pollinate each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable from Pengelly Garden Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58817391231350,"sku":"108665","price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/BlenheimOrange1.jpg?v=1790331265","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/apple-malus-blenheim-orange-bush-12l-container-mm106","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
