Apple ‘Blush Babe’ is a Dwarf compact tree growing to just two metres tall with a mop head habit. This dwarf apple variety produces delicious, full-sized, crispy red fruit. Good natural disease resistance means little spraying is required, and little or no pruning is needed. A high-yielding apple tree that produces crisp, sweet, and juicy fruit with a beautiful, blushed red skin. Bred for small gardens, orchards, and even large pots, this variety is perfect for home growers who want delicious apples without needing a massive tree.

Skin: Blushed red over a creamy-yellow base

Watering: Keep soil moist but well-draining, especially in hot weather
Pruning: Light annual pruning encourages strong growth and fruiting spurs
