But in general terms have a look at the page about our trees – the varieties there were bred to withstand the cold Cambridgeshire winds – tough skins and good keeping qualities. Also you might want to bear in mind that apple trees here are usually grown on a dwarf rootstock, so that the trees are kept low. This makes them easy to pick and ensures they don’t suffer from ‘wind rock’ which weakens the roots in the young tree.
