Is there any such thing as a self fertile cooking apple. I've only got room for 1 and there aren't others round about (I don't think).

Can anyone suggest a variety or weblionks?

Nice one - I'm enjoying seeing my earlies pop their heads through the piles of earth over them and the pear tree in blossom.

Hi Johnty, most apples are self sterile or only partial self fertile at best. If you only have room for 1 variety a family tree would be best.

However, have you thought about growing a row of apple trees as cordons. I have 6 in a row along one plots boundary and they take up no more room than a row of say raspberry canes and you can plant varieties which are all from the correct pollinating groups, maximising your crop.
