Apple 'Leprechaun'

A neat, compact, upright dwarf deciduous fruiting tree that requires pollination for fruit development. Apple Leprechaun produces long slender stems with oval deep green leaves which change colour in autumn. It will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in winter. This will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Apple Leprechaun produces medium to large rounded fruit with lime-yellow skin. The flesh is a cream with a slight tinge of green. The fruit is firm and crisp, great keeping and very good when used in cooking. This is an ideal tree for large gardens, food gardens or as a feature tree. Apple Golden Delicious grows best in humus-rich soil, which is well-draining.
