Common Name: Ballerina Flamenco Apple TreeLatin Name: Malus domestica ‘Flamenco’Soil: Fertile, well-drained soilPosition: Full sunFlowering period/colour: Spring/whiteFruit picking time: Early OctoberFruit Size/colour: Medium-large/redPollination group: 3 The ‘Flamenco’ is one of the best tasting ‘Ballerina’ apples for eating fresh, as it has a sharp and refreshing flavour. The apples are green with a bright red flush to them and they are medium in size; they do not keep well so ensure that you eat them within a couple of weeks. With this being a ‘Ballerina’ apple tree, it maintains an upright, columnar habit and it is therefore the perfect choice for the smaller garden. You can also plant this narrow tree in a large pot on a sunny patio. As with all Ballerina trees, there is only one main stem and the tree does not develop side branches, so this tree requires little pruning.
