Like most early croppers - late July onwards Beauty of Bath apples are best eaten relatively fresh. She is an early flowering pollinator and so needs to be grown in the company of another pollinating or self-fertile apple for both to fruit. The leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid-June onwards. This is not a disease but is mainly due to this year’s contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree. Pollination:It is not self-fertile and needs a pollination partner:Egremont Russet, Elstar, Granny Smith, Greensleeves, Grenadier, Howgate Wonder, Idared, James Grieve, Katy, Lord Lambourne, Malus Evereste, Red Devil, Spartan, Worcester Pearmain.
