Apple Tree - Bloody Ploughman
Bloody Ploughman has very red heavily ribbed fruit. It is reputed to have earned its name from a ploughman who was caught stealing apples on the Megginch estate and was shot by the gamekeeper. His wife got the bag of apples and threw them on the compost heap where a seedling then grew and - voila - Bloody Ploughman. The apple produces a unique pink juice. There's a still an orchard at Megginch Castle where - curiously - the owners also now grow tea. The Carse of Gowrie, where the castle is, has rich fertile land, a southerly aspect and - at least by Scottish standards - low rainfall.
Supplier : R.V. Roger Ltd.
See our section on Pollination Groups to help you select your apple trees.
The rootstock for all our apple trees, including Bloody Ploughman, is the most vigorous available. We try to offer as many apple varieties as we can on M25 rootstock, which will produce the standard trees of a traditional orchard, where they would be planted between 6 and 8 metres apart. M106 is ideal for a garden apple tree. Please refer to our size guide for details.
All our apple trees are bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.
Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
