Bardsey Apple

The tree arrived in good condition with a few nice branches and a good root system. The packaging kept the roots damp for the trip and so far I've seen no issues after getting it into dirt.

The hot dry summers of Spokane, WA are worlds away from the misty Welsh island of Bardsey, and look at this beautiful tree! I planted it in the spring of 2023 and it has thrived, and has three sizable apples. No evidence of pests either. I wasn't expecting such a vigorous little tree! I have two apple trees of unknown varieties that were pollinators. I can't wait until these apples are fully ripened to taste. Yes, I did fence the tree at planting to deter nibbling moose and deer. And used hardware cloth in the planting hole to keep gophers away from the roots. So glad that Raintree carries such interesting varieties!

I received a Bardsey Apple Tree on February 20, 2024 and planted it immediately as advised by Raintree Nursery. The roots were well hydrated and the branches carefully protected for shipment. While the Raintree Nursery environmental conditions may not be identical to where I live, it is possible that the tree may not survive. However, by March 1, 2024 leaves have began to sprout. I am writing this review on March 17, 2024 and the tree has more leaves and appears to enjoy its new home. I am most pleased with the quality of this tree and look forward to a time in the future when it produces apples.

Mini dwarf Bardsey has brought us an apple the very first season. We had to pick it green yet because of rodents, but it finished the ripening successfully. Delicious and beautiful!

Amazing mini-dwarf tree. Producing apples from the very first season, growing in a big growing bag :). I wanted Bardsey apple tree so much, thank you for fulfilling my dream!
