Description

Bred to be grown as a small columnar apple tree, Starline ‘Greenfinch’ is extremely versatile and heavy cropping. It can be grown in a patio pot or planted in a small garden, but if you have more space then you could plant it in rows to create your own mini orchard!

The large, tasty green apples have a slightly acidic flavour and are ready for picking in September and October. Beneath the bright green skin of these dessert apples, the flesh is firm and crisp and we’re sure they will prove popular.

A modern variety of compact apple tree, 'Greenfinch' is self-fertile and benefits from having excellent disease-resistance.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Apple trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Prune young apple trees for the first few years after planting to create a healthy, goblet-like shape with one central leader and several side shoots. Straight after planting, you can remove the lowest laterals. Prune back other branches by between a third and half their length.

In the following years, remove any shoots growing out of the trunk to maintain a clear stem. Also remove any crossing, diseased or damaged branches. If your tree is looking overcrowded, remove some of the larger branches to open up the canopy. This type of pruning should be carried out between November and March whilst the tree is dormant.
