DWARF APPLE Autento™
With a ‘Christmas Tree’ habit, Autento grows to just three metres tall. The fruit is tasty when eaten fresh off the tree, but gets even better when refrigerated. Good disease resistance means clean fruit can be produced with little or no spraying. Cross between Cox Orange and Delgollune.
