A fantastic dessert apple tree variety, known for heavy, regular crops that are ready for harvesting in mid-September. ‘Pinova’ bears medium-sized fruits that are deliciously crisp and tangy, with red-flushed skin and creamy white flesh that mellows slightly with age. ‘Pinova’ is partially self-fertile, with excellent flavour inherited from its parents, ‘Cox’ and ‘Golden Delicious’. The fruits store well and hang on the tree late into the season. This variety also boasts excellent resistance to mildew and scab, making it an ideal choice for organic growers.

Pollination information: This apple belongs to pollination group 3, and is partially self-fertile. To increase yields, it can be cross-pollinated with other apples in this group, or those from groups 2 or 4.

Garden care: 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. In August summer prune. Shorten 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.
